I use ⌃ ctrl + ⇧ shift + ⇥ tab to move between tabs in Chrome, but if I scroll with the touchpad it'll zoom the page. This happens quite a lot and it's frustrating. Is there some way I can disable the ⌃ ctrl + ⇧ shift + scroll shortcut?

This is what happens:

  • Zooming is a OS X system-wide function and not directly related to Chrome. Do you want to disable it totally?

  • @patrix It's not a system wide zoom. The system wide zoom is control + scroll. This only affects chrome, firefox and safari or any other application I try doesn't do it. It also only zooms the webpage, not the browser chrome or any such.

If I might say so, why are you using the 3 keys to switch between the tabs.

In Chrome it is enough if you use two keys to switch tabs.

control + tab

If however you prefer to modify the the Chrome shortcuts, visit this website

    I'm using 3 keys because it performs a different function. shift+ control + tab goes backwards.

    The chrome extension you linked doesn't deal with combinations of mouse and keyboard as a shortcut, and doesn't solve the issue at all.

    I wasn't thanking you, what you wrote didn't solve the issue. Also this isn't an OS X hotkey function, it's specific to chrome. It would be helpful if you would attempt your own suggestions before answering so it is at least relevant.

    Chrome does control what it wants to do when it detects user actions, this zooming feature doesn't come from OS X. If you look at the video I recorded you can clearly see it's not an OS X function. I've submitted this as a bug code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=230752 to chromium which they seem to think is a regression. I was not asking about creating shortcuts, I'm asking about removing one that is native to chrome.
