In Chrome or Textedit I always accidently end up zooming with the build-in trackpad on MBA with Mountain Lion. How do I disable the trackpad function for zooming in application specific.
Looking into the com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.plist it is not clear what function is it and how do I disable it in Terminal.
From the example:
defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE
I was thinking of doing the:
defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist AppleEnableZoomWithTrackpad -bool FALSE
But I do not know the actual entry name for it.

I managed to disable it using BetterTouchTool (http://blog.boastr.net/) an awesome freeware app that lets you customize trackpad gestures on a per-app basis. I just added two gestures for chrome (one for pinch-out and one for pinch-in) and assigned no action to them. BTT overrides the OS's gesture recognition and disables pinch to zoom.
The pinch-to-zoom was conflicting with the other BTT gestures I set for Chrome (rotating gesture to switch tabs), and Chrome was always resizing my web pages whenever I switched tabs with my gesture. This trick ended it.
