Switch off parameter scroll

Post by JussyAD »

Hi there

How can I switch off the setting that allows me to increase/decrease parameters in the combo view fields? It is annoying me a lot and I can't take it anymore :x . I just want to be able to enter the desired number with my keyboard, not accidentally or intentionally with my mouse scroll wheel.

+1 from my side

It happens a lot of times that I want to scroll down in the parameter window and accidentally change a value in some field where the mouse is over.

I can't find "General/ComboBoxWheelEventFilter". But, yeah, that would do it!

Some keys are not presented by default, you have to create them.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Thanks Chris. I didn't even know I could do that. Please send me a link explaining how to do this. I am a novice in coding.
