Turn Off Mouse Wheel Zoom

[brittneymnewton]

Can somebody tell me how I can use my mouse wheel for scrolling and not zooming? Very annoying and holding Ctrl and using the wheel doesn't work either.

Just because I can't find it I don't think you can, but as a possible work around you can navigate an image using the Overview palette (View/Pallettes/Overview -or- F9).

TimW I don't think that's how it works. Whether or not you have scrolling on your mouse or mousepad is in your settings. But whether or not it zooms or pans is completely application dependent. The application decides how it wants to respond to the scroll input from your mouse.

PSP does not have a pan on scroll feature.

Spacebar is the normal shortcut for temporarily panning. With most tools you can hold the spacebar down, then click and drag to pan around the image. (does not work with the crop tool) When you release the spacebar your tool returns to normal.

You're right, why can I never remember that, keep forgetting it? Thanks again for the reminder I may need it again in a few months

LeviFiction Thanks for reminding me of that. I had a completely different program in my head when I wrote that

Thank you all for the help! I knew about the space bar thing, still quite annoying. Wish there was an easier way, but that's okay! Thanks again (:

Try turning off the Scroll Inactive Windows feature https://www.thurrott.com/windows/window ... ve-windows
If this works there is a caveat. You have to activate anything you want to scroll/zoom/adjust with the wheel. So for example when I click the Start button on my computer and want to scroll down a few categories I first have to click something to activate it. So the annoyance has just been transferred from one thing to another.
