How to disable spacebar scrolling

The question of how to disable spacebar scrolling is discussed on these pages:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/935601
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=722865&start=0
The solution given is to use the Keyconfig extension to reassign the use of the spacebar. However, the instructions are somewhat incomplete.
After finally getting it to work, I wanted to elaborate on the instructions. (Since those topics are closed, I'm starting a new one.)
<pre>1. Install the Keyconfig extension from this page:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension
2. Make sure the Firefox Menu Bar is visible.
3. From the Tools Menu, select Keyconfig.
4. Click the Add a new key button.
5. In the Name fleld, type a name for the keyboard shortcut, such as "Spacebar."
6. To make this apply to all pages, click the Global checkbox.
7. Click OK.
8. In the Keyconfig main window, select the new shortcut, such as "Spacebar."
9. Click where it says <Disabled>, and type a space. The term <VK_SPACE> appears.
10. Click Apply.
11. Click Close.</pre>

How to disable the "scroll lock" pointer?

I use 2-finger swipe to scroll on my trackpad.
I often get my pointer transformed into a scrolling pointer: it is gray circle about 1 cm in diameter, with a small white circle in the middle, 1 small arrow tip pointing down below the circle and 1 arrow tip pointing up above the circle.
This happens mostly when I touch the trackpad with 2 fingers, like when I am about to scroll with 2-finger gesture.
If I could post a png image I would but that is about as accurate as I could describe it.
When it appears, it locks the scrolling (with 1 finger swipe it keeps scrolling in the direction of the swipe).
This is very annoying because it interferes with the 2-finger scrolling.
Sometimes I get a "move" pointer (same as the one a above but arrow tips in all 4 directions).
Does anybody know what this "feature" is called and how to disable it?
Thanks

Hi,
The Scrollbar in the activeX browser is the property of the page being loaded and not the container.
If you have access to editing the HTML files that you are loading, add the following line in the html document:
If you don't have write access to the html files, then you can cover the scroll area of the activeX container with another activeX container. You can't use a decoration to cover it since the activeX container will remain on top.
I hope this helps.

How to disable horisontal scrolling on magic mouse in windows 7?

Pls help. It's very difficult to work.

I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck

Disabling Horizontal Scroll in Mountain Lion (Magic Mouse)?

So I've tried pretty much everything and can't seem to this.
The following things used to work under Lion and before, it seems but having tried all of them, I'm at a loss for what to do. I like the magic mouse, but
when doing any development like coding or doing something in illustrator or Photoshop. The horizontal scroll makes my content jump all over the place.
Very frustrated hope someone can help. Here are all the things I've tried.
Open a terminal shell:
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO
This no longer does anything.
I tried installing MagicPrefs to try and 'overwrite' the scroll functionality for horizontal movement... it doesn't work
I tried installing BetterTouchTool (BTT) to also overwrite the scroll functionality for horizontal movement... again it doesn't work.
What does work:
It seems I can go into System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > Mouse Options > uncheck scrolling.
But this gets rid of all scrolling even vertical.
Now if MagicPrefs or BTT had a vertical scroll action you could bind to up/down swipes this would be fine, but they don't.
So, at a loss for what to do.

If you have windows 7 this might work for you. Found from another forum post here.

How to disable the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function?

The problem is as follows.
The default behaviour of Acrobat Reader (both stand alone and browser plug-in) is to allow scrolling/swiping with the mouse wheel/trackpad. This is useful when the pdf's page length is greater than the screen's own length, because you can read the pdf with no need to distract your attention from the text to the scrollbar button. However, the same scroll/swipe function turns into a usability problem when the pdf is embedded in a html page and the pdf's page length is smaller than the browser's length. In this case, the scroll/swipe turns the page, distracting your attention from the text to the unintended behaviour of the browser. What happens is that you are so used to scrolling/swiping that you did it unintentionally in the pdf's caption area. You really did not want to turn pages in the pdf. Furthermore, if the pdf takes the whole html page, being a website, the scroll/swipe function flips the website pages in ways that neither the reader nor the writer had ever intended. Hence the question. How to disable, in this case, the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function? A JavaScript should do, but the SDK documents did not help so far...

How to switch off scroll and zoom functions of touchpad on Satellite L

Hi.
Can anyone tell me how to switch off the scroll and zoom functions for the Synaptics Touchpad v7.2 .
Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
Any suggestions.

Hi buddy,
> Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
You can only disable the virtual scrolling function if the touchpad driver is installed properly. The driver provides extended functions and allows you to disable/enable special features. If you dont have installed the touchpad driver download it on official Toshiba page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Then navigate to control panel as the previous user wrote for disabling the scroll function.
Can you find it now?

I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

How to disable illuminated Multimedia Console Buttons sensitivity

Does anyone know how to disable or reduce the sensitivity of the illuminated +Multimedia Console Buttons+ to the left of the main keyboard?
Cheers, Alun

Firs of all it would be really interesting to know what notebook you have.
On many Toshiba notebooks you can find the Toshiba Assist.
As far as I know there you can find the Toshiba Button Support and could disable this.
Furthermore you this can be done also in msconfig (to start this you have to type msconfig in RUN)
But note; this is very sensitive operation and this could affect the OS functionality if you disable wrong process. So be careful.
However, choose the Startup tab and scroll down till you find Toshiba Button Support and uncheck it.
If you will not find this in Startup then I would recommend using other procedure.
The VAP (value added package) controls this buttons.
So if you don't want to use the buttons you have to remove button support utility. I don't know if you can remove it as single utility but what you can do is to remove VAP from the system. After restart install VAP again (download on Toshiba support page) and choose custom installation. In front of button support utility remove the check mark and continue installation.
Good luck

How to disable agps on E71x

Hi,
I just got an E71x from ATT and installed Nokia Maps on it with downloaded maps so as to not use any data over the air. I learned somewhere that agps also uses data (even tough small amounts). I was wondering if anybody knows how to disable the agps functionality on the E71x.
Thanks

How to disable auto_home and individual datasets on Solaris 11 11/11

Good morning,
There's a lot of changes in Solaris 11 that I like, but two of the ones I dislike, I just can't seem to get rid of them.
I'd like to disable auto_home, permanently. I don't want users' home directories to be mapped on /home .
I've read that all I needed was to remove all mentions of home in /etc/auto_home and/or /etc/auto_master (can't recall which one of the 2 files as I removed all mentions, 'f course...) .
Once done, I read I simply needed to run automount once (automount -v) .
No go. The next user I've created was mapped in /etc/auto_home, and /etc/password modified accordingly.
Moreover, each new account is created as its own individual ZFS dataset. I understand the advantages of this, as each user can create his own snapshots, etc. But I don't need that, and I certainly won't need a zfs list output that scrolls on many pages !
How can I disable this ? I just tested it, 2 seconds ago :
[08:43:10|jfg@oslo:/opt] sudo useradd -u 9999 -c 'TEST' -d /export/home/TEST -m -s /bin/bash test
80 blocks
[08:45:59|jfg@oslo:/opt] grep TEST /etc/passwd ; grep TEST /etc/auto_* ; zfs list | grep TEST
test:x:9999:10:TEST:/home/test:/bin/bash
/etc/auto_home:test localhost:/export/home/TEST
rpool/homes/oslo/test 35K 21.1G 35K /export/home/TEST
<EDIT> : forgot to mention, I destroyed the original dataset for the home directories, rpool/export/home, and created a new one, rpool/homes/zoneName/ as multiple zones accounts will be "hosted" in this dataset.
Thanks for helping,
Regards,
-- Jeff

Thanks Alan,
I remember awhile back reading about this on OpenSolaris, but it just came back to mind as you mentioned it.
Still, other than svcadm disable autofs, I can't see how to disable only auto_home.
And I'm still stuck with my individual zfs datasets that I hate hoooo so much ! :-)
Thanks,

Is it possible to disable auto scroll

When my cursor moves to an edge of a spreadsheet that has additional content
not visible in the window the window automatically scrolls in that direction.
Also if a part of a cell is visible putting the cursor in that cell automatically
scrolls that cell to become fully visible.
This is very irritating.
I’ve left feedback.
Does anyone know how to disable this?
Terminal hack?
Thanks ... Ken

I am not aware Numbers has this "feature". The only panning feature I know of comes from the OS and can be controlled by zooming in using the Universal access.
Universal Access can be found in System Preferences (menu item " > System Preferences"):
Do you have "Zoom" enabled?

How to disable double click to move through many tabs? Double click should mean move to next tab, twice

I just upgraded to new firefox and there seems to be a new "feature", which makes working with multiple (50-80+) tabs impossible.
When I click the move to left tab / move to right tab button, instead of being moved twice, everything jumps at gigantic speed for 15 or 20 tabs (something like PG up, PG down button maybe).
This makes firefox unusable and Im considering downgrading.
How to disable this "feature"?
I tried messing around with
toolkit.scrollbox
but apparently the new mentality of the developers is "WE KNOW BETTER".
How can I fix this?

You can hold down the mouse button on a scroll button a bit longer to initiate scrolling multiple tabs.<br />
Otherwise you need to wait longer between the clicks on the scroll button.<br />
If you click twice on a tab bar scroll button too fast then you perform a 'page up' or 'page down' and the tabs scroll a tab bar width like you noticed.
I'm not sure what you mean with new feature because this is the behavior in Firefox 3.6.x as well.

Disable spacebar shortcut for playing animation?

I'm trying out Photoshop's ability to work with movies for the first time, and it's been a deeply frustrating experience because of the shortcut used for playing the animation.
In theory, tapping spacebar is supposed to play the movie, while holding spacebar gives you the hand tool. Unfortunately, there seems to be a huge lag, because if I hold the spacebar, quickly move the canvas, and let go, the movie starts playing. This is making it pretty much impossible to work, and I can't find anything in Keyboard Shortcuts that would let me disable this. How do I turn off this functionality?

It's driving me mad also!! How to dehactivate spacebar for animation??

How to disable facebook sync

I would like to find out how to disable the sync from my facebook. I have over 200 people I have to scroll through. Just getting tired of it. I have taken the app off the phone but when I add it back on and sign back in it doesn't ask me if I want to sync it or not.
Thank You

Is this in reference to your contacts list? If so you can perform the following:
Click the Contacts icon(to the right of the Apps arrow) at the bottom of the screen from the Home panel or any panel.
Click the Menu button once the Contacts screen appears and click Hide/Show.
Select the Facebook option to hide contacts.
You may also do this for other contacts that have been synced from email accounts.
Hope this helps.
