Ubuntu – How to disable Alt-Scroll zoom in XFCE4 (Xubuntu)

shortcut-keysxfcexubuntuzooming

In XFCE4 desktop environments, alt+scroll wheel zooms my entire desktop. I'm finding this very annoying because sometimes I flick the scroll wheel to go to the top of a document then press the alt key for a some unrelated keyboard shortcut and find myself zoomed in so far I can't see anything at all.

Is there any way to disable this feature?

There is an easy way, without losing the moving windows feature.

  1. Open Settings Editor
  2. Go to Channel xfwm4
  3. Disable Property zoom_desktop
