Disabling scroll wheel for the compwindow

[Martti Ekstrand]

With the excellent USB Overdrive you can disable the scroll wheel entirely in AE but not just in the comp wheel. Or you can replace the scroll command with almost anything including keystrokes. I’ve set my scroll wheel to ‘page up’/’page down’ so I’m able to scroll one frame at the time forward/backward in all panels but Project and Effects list. Very handy if you can stand not being able to do normal up/down scrolling in list and layers anymore.

Thanks for your answer Martti

I use a Logitech MX 1100, and unfortunately, USB Overdrive does not support the latest Logitech cordless mouses. I have to downgrade. But USB Overdrive seems very useable.

I use a Logitech G5 laser with cord – excellent both for work and gaming. Works perfect with USB Overdrive.

Ugh, I have exactly the same problem, but it’s a lot more insidious with the Mac Magic Mouse, because the concept of “scroll wheel” is pretty much just that – a concept. It’s very clever that they’ve blended it right into the touch-sensitive case and that you can scroll in 2 dimensions, but in applications like this where you can’t disable it for zooming, I end up looking at my comps at about 800% WAY more often than I’d like. If anyone does discover a solution for this with the Magic Mouse, please let me know!
