disabling the mid click zooms

Postby blurymind » Sat Nov 30, 2013 6:28 am

I love inkscape to bits but some things in it annoy the hell out of me. One such thing is the single middle click zooming.

I middle click and drag to pan and that is very useful when you draw with a tablet where the middle click is one of the stylus buttons.

Having the middle click also zoom in by increment when you havent dragged it however is EXTREMELY annoying. When I ink my drawing I constantly zoom in by mistake, because I havent dragged it enough before releasing or because of the way I hold my stylus. This behaviour to me is a bug and I want to desperately disable it.
But the option is not there. Where is the option?? Is there a hack or something, a system file perhaps I can edit to disable this stupid feature that some genius thought should not be optional and should be on by default?

Hi

You can customize the shortcuts by editing your inkscape.xml and default.xml files.

Some shortcuts can and some other can not be configured.

See this; http://inkscape.org/doc/keys048.html
