Request: Setting to disable zooming with ctrl+mousewheelΒ #11710

I would like a setting to disable the zooming/font size changing when scrolling the mousewheel with ctrl held down. The motivation for me is that I have a mouse featuring a clickless wheel with "momentum," which means that windows often get spammed with extraneous wheel events when the wheel is still moving very slightly, resulting in my text getting shrunk down to the smallest possible size when I press ctrl, requiring a reset with ctrl+0.

I know this sounds insane/awful and you're probably thinking I should get a different mouse, but in fact the only annoyance is from wheel zooming in the browser and in the terminal. Regardless of any of this it seems like a generally useful feature. Firefox lets me disable it, and a matching setting in the terminal would be much appreciated.

The ideal implementation would be exposing the wheel events in the Actions pane of configuration, but if this presents architectural challenges a simple toggle in the Interaction pane would of course suffice.

Thanks muchly.
