ALT + mouse wheel to zoom (alt windows key 7)

Hello Photoshop,


I use CS6 on windows 7-64 bit with a keyboard and a mouse.  I have a problem with the default functionality of the 'Alt' key in windows 7.  For those of you who are familiar with the default functionality of the alt key in windows 7, go to the next paragraph.  For those of you unfamiliar, pressing the ALT key in most programs in windows will highlight the toolbar so that you can use the keyboard to make a selection in your 'file', 'Edit', 'View', toolbars etc. If your mouse goes dead.

My problem is that I use the Alt + scrolling the mouse to zoom in all the time.  I rely on this feature, probably more than I should.  Yes, I use Ctrl + or cntrl - for zoom, but that means that I have to take my right hand out of my mouse and I use photoshop 8 + hours some days.  Time is essential to complete projects on time.

So has anyone found solutions to this?  I tried to disable the service by default alt in windows 7 (it did not because you can not without third pary openware).  I tried to reproduce the shortcut in the Edit - menu keyboard shortcuts (did not work because he does not recognize the mouse scrolling).  Am I missing something?  Any help would be appreciated because I'm tired of having to reselct my fonts when the alt key turns my focus of the workspace toolbar.

Thank you!

-Dave

If you select Zoom with scroll wheel in Edit > Preferences > General, then you can simply use the scroll on the mouse for zoom wheel without pressing any other key.

Or you might rather than the preference above press both the Ctrl + Alt, which prevents the highlighting from the menu bar

  • With the help of control (Alt, windows key) in a vWorkspace session keys

    Hi guys,.

    My users and I have noticed that you cannot use the Windows key or Alt modifiers in a vWorkspace session.

    In an RDP session normal, that they work very well (as long as the RDP window is maximized), but not vWorkspace.

    examples: Alt + Tab, simply by pressing the windows key, alt-ESC

    Is there a way we can allow them to work inside the session?  It must be possible that the MSTSC.exe application allows it.

    Thank you!

    Nick.

    Hello Nick,

    This works in the same way as MSTSC.

    In respect of local resources, you have the keyboard mode.

    You can set this to the Local computer in full screen only or on the remote computer.

    From what you describe, your MSTSc is set "in Mode full-screen only.

    In AppPortal, click Actions | Manage connections | Local resources

    Then change the keyboard mode.

    If you use Web Access, you can set it in preferences on a per-user basis, or you can change the properties of Web sites in the Management Console.

    For example, open the properties of the Web site. Local resources | Apply Windows key combinations.

    This will fix it for you.

    Thank you, Andrew.

  • Zoom using the mouse wheel?

    I just upgraded from PSE 5 to 9.  One of the very practical functions in PSE 5 was the use of the mouse wheel to zoom in or on a photo that you work in the editing workspace.  Now it seems I have to use brackets or the clumsy zoom tool.


    Is there a way I can activate/change something so I can zoom with the mouse wheel?  Thank you.

    In addition, the type on drop-down menus is harder to read than in PSE 5 because the type is small and he is revered in black.  I'll explore the PSE 8 workspace.  Maybe I upgraded from too far.

    Open a photo in "Full Photo editing" mode.

    Select Edition > Preferenes > General.  Check the box that says 'Zoom with scroll wheel. "

  • Unable to scroll 1 pixel (Alt + mouse wheel) more (after updating FF from 12.0 to 20.0.1) - is there a solution without Add-ons?

    Since I need a pixel of ScrollBar of the browser window, in FF 12.0 I used:

    MouseWheel.withaltkey.action = 4

    MouseWheel.withaltkey.numlines = 1

    MouseWheel.withaltkey.sysnumlines = false

    and I was able to use Alt + wheel to scroll the content of only 1 pixel.

    However, after updated to FF 20.0.1 Alt + mouse wheel stopped working so I try to reactivate the feature, but without success. According to me, there were a few changes from 17 FF:

    https://wiki.Mozilla.org/Gecko:Mouse_Wheel_Scrolling

    Pixel scrolling seem to be now removed from suggestions, action = 4 once upon a time "Document scroll by a number of pixels (given by the numlinesrequired property)" and now it says:

    ' Note that unlike 16 or earlier, you cannot specify the unit values of delta such as scrolling by pixel, line or page. That is, you cannot specify the value of deltaMode of DOM WheelEvent with all preferences. Under Windows, the unit of scrolling is online or page with the mouse wheel. »

    Is there a solution to re - activate a pixel scrolling without having to install Add - ons (each add-on for smooth scrolling some other behavior changes)?

    There was changes in the prefs of mousewheel as a result of the implementation of the DOM3 (Bug 719320) scrolling mouse wheel.

    I don't think that it is possible to replace / adjust the amount of scrolling when you use a modifier key for a certain number of pixels.

    There is only the delta multipliers that change the number of lines (33 changes scrolling amount to one-third), so probably closed you can get is to assign the action to the modifier Alt 1 (or 1% of the default).

    You can change mousewheel.*.delta_multiplier_y prefs (vertical axis) to change the vertical scroll amount.

    • MouseWheel.system_scroll_override_on_root_content. Enabled-> true
    • MouseWheel.with_control.delta_multiplier_y

    CTRL-Alt-Del does not bring upward the more after XP Task Manager - it brings up a different menu options:

    The options presented are also slightly configurable via Group Policy, if your system is equipped with:

    http://www.thewindowsclub.com/customize-ctrlaltdel-screen-Windows-7-Group-Policy

    You can kind of 'test' on your keyboard with a built in Screen-Keyboard Windows.

    All programs, accessories, ease of access, Screen-Keyboard.

    When you press a key on the keyboard, it should light up on the screen keyboard on (by pressing Ctrl):

    Of course, we don't know anything about your system (desktop, laptop, keyboard, PS/2, USB, wireless wired keyboard) so you may need to see if another keyboard works, another USB port, batteries, etc...

  • Windows 7 - Windows key or Alt + Tab does not

    I have Windows 7 Home Edition, and suddenly my Alt + Tab feature has stopped working.  I use it regularly, so I don't know what I did to disable.  In addition, my Windows (the one next to the left Alt key) key stops working to bring up the Start Menu.

    The Windows key still works because when I press Windows + 3, it loads Google Chrome because it is the third in the taskbar...  Tab key works alone as well I use it to switch between the boxes username and password on log ons.
    I can't do not also appear in the windows program by clicking on the icons in the taskbar, taskbar icon won't turn on and flashes, but the actual program window is not pop up. I have to press the Desktop button on the right side of the taskbar to minimize everything and then bring up the desired program window.
    I've been shooting a few changes to my Windows 7 because I wanted to accelerate and I followed this Web site: http://www.computingunleashed.com/speed-up-windows-7-ultimate-guide-to.html
    I was also disabling some of the Start Up programs and services to speed up / save the battery power.  Is there a specific Service Microsoft need to Alt Tab functionality and the Windows key to work?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Switching windows with the mouse wheel

    How to move windows on my mouse with wheel?

    Hi AndrettiSims,

    If I understand you correctly, you want to use your mouse to scroll through open windows. Try the following steps:

    • Press the keys Alt + Tab keys
    • Once you see the box which displays icons of the open window, remove your finger from the Tab key, keeping your finger on the Alt key and use your mouse scroll to navigate in the window that you want to open.

    If these steps do not resolve your problem, provide additional information as asked Ken.

    HI waltur,

    in my opinion, it is not possible to change the position and significance of any key on the keyboard.

    I think it's related o the keyboard driver and Windows operating system. I googled around but I had only found how to change the positions of the keys on a keyboard in Linux.

    So when you do not want to move to a linux system, then you have no opportunities in a Windows system!

    Sorry!

    The mouse wheel is generally used of the Zoom feature in the Windows Photo Viewer. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change the default setting for the mouse in next/previous wheel in the Windows Photo Viewer.

  • CC of Photoshop for PC - ctrl-alt-arrow key does nothing

    I installed Photoshop CC on a new PC, and the combination of keys ctrl-alt-arrow does nothing. He used to reduce the area of framing around pixels and move the selection by 1 pixel. Now, it does nothing. Using shift-ctrl-alt-arrow shrinks the selection around the pixel rectangle and move the selection of 10 pixels, meaning that it is supposed to do. Any help is appreciated.

    I got this in Windows 7 with my driver Intel HD 4000 as well. Enabling auto-start for the Intel Graphics Control panel was the problem. He caught in the trap of the combination of keys Ctrl-Alt arrow, but not the Shift-Ctrl-Alt-arrow key combination.

    If the solution is simple http://superuser.com/questions/796396/how-to-disable-igfxhk-module-process-from-starting-u p-with-windows

  • Delayed mouse wheel Scrolling on Dell XPS running Windows 7

    Since installing Win7-64 (Dell XPS) I noticed a weird scroll effect.  Approximately 2-3 seconds after the mouse scroll wheel, the active window "jumps" over a level of scrolling in the same direction, without any input from me.

    Don't happen every time, but often enough that it problems.  Either I will scroll at a given place in the list of folders in Windows Explorer, then go get a file to drag to a folder, but before that I can drop the list folders scrolls by itself.  I've seen this happen in many programs, including Windows Explorer, IE8, Firefox, Eclipse, oxygen/XML, Textpad...
