How to disable zoom on Ctrl+scroll in Visual Studio 2010?

Go to Tools->Extension manager, and search the online gallery for "wheel". Download "Disable Mouse Wheel Zoom"

enter image description here

Or use this direct link: Disable Mouse Wheel Zoom.


It is possible that Visual Studio 2010 will get into a state where ordinary use of the mouse wheel (ie without Ctrl pressed) results in text increasing or decreasing in size.

Use ctrl + scroll on the page to recover from this state.


I don't believe there is a way to do this the editor through the exposed options. However Noah Richards, a visual studio platform developer, wrote a Visual Studio extension that disables the mouse scroll zooming.
