Incidentally, the problem with wine and AHK is, wine can't access Hope some of this might help you make the transition. I keep hoping it'll get fixed in Mint 17 and wishing I knew how to fix it myself. Unfortunately, devilspie doesn't work in Mintġ7. Little utility called devilspie with a gdevilspie GUI wouldĪutomatically change the position and geometry of any window I Xte 'mousemove 100 100' 'mousedown 1' 'mousemove 200 200' 'mouseup 1'įor more complicated stuff like changing window geometries and soįorth, in Mint 17 I mostly use the wmctrl utility.

Other people have had PDF specific issues, which doesn't concern me. " I would really like it if I could deactivate the auto zoom in/out." had "something with laptops and Windows 7", not the feature built into Chrome. Other people on the Chrome forum have had related issues, but none have the same problem. There is a superuser question that asks basically the same thing I'm asking, but for Firefox and Internet Explorer exclusively. This is possible on Firefox by using about:config is there a similar way to edit detailed settings in Chrome? Would I have access to the detailed settings if I used Chromium instead of Chrome? I'll probably jump ship back to Firefox if I can't solve this problem. I would like to either decouple Ctrl+mouse wheel from zoom, or disable zoom functionality altogether. On sites with dynamic layout such as Google Docs the problem is more serious accidentally hitting Ctrl+mouse wheel corrupts the display and forces me to refresh the page entirely, sometimes causing me to loose information in the process. This is annoying because it can take up to 30 seconds to fix the issue, depending on how complex the site layout is. I use keyboard shortcuts that involve Ctrl a lot, so about twenty times a day I accidentally hit Ctrl at the same time that I'm scrolling, which results in the page being reflowed and repainted. I'm a normal-sighted person and I would like to view pages at 100% all the time.
