Zoom with Alt + Mouse wheel not working

I used to be able to zoom in and out in Lightroom by pressing the alt (or option key) and scrolling up or down. Suddenly this stopped working. It still works fine in other apps like Photoshop, just not Lightroom. Any suggestions?

I'm on Windows - and for me, Ctrl + scroll wheel zooms the image (not Alt + scroll wheel). That's a common shortcut in many programs (don't know about MacOS though).
However, I personally find mouse clicking between (say) 1:1 and Fill, hitting the space bar as needed (also using that to pan) both quicker, and more useful.

[SOLVED] [Gnome 3] Move/resize with alt+mouse button not working

Hi,
Anyone have any ideas why I can't move or resize windows in Gnome 3 with the alt key + mouse button?
From what I've read it should be possible to do this in Gnome 3, or have they removed it?
The alt key works fine for other tasks, like alt+f4. By looking at xev the keyboard seems to generate a correct alt key as well:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 74162047, (-380,478), root:(2169,522),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Both the middle and the right mouse button works fine for other stuff, like pasting and opening menus.
Anyone have any ideas?

I suffer the same problems. metacity is already installed. Any idea what else I might look for?
And did it reactivate Alt+right-click to resize?
For geoffm and anyone who stumbles across this, as per http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … dows-again, you used to be able to use the gconf editor, but now it's (from the command line)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences resize-with-right-button true
This nearly did my head in back when it changed.. now I just have to find out how to change the behaviour that seems to have cropped up in latest gnome 3.10 update, where you have to click the _left_ mouse button to finish/stop the resize.. Quite annoying

Alt & scroll wheel not working on Photoshop CC to zoom in / out

Hey! So i'm using the latest version of Photoshop CC, and i'm also running the Technical Preview of Windows 10. So In Photshop, usually when you hold the alt key and scroll with the scroll wheel on your mouse, it will zoom in / out of the image on Photoshop. Well i'm having some problems with that, it isn't working at all. In preferences I have it set to zoom with scroll wheel. Anyone know why it isn't working? Could it be something with the Windows 10 Preview?

Please report Windows 10 issues to Microsoft, so they can get the information they need to fix the OS bugs before shipping the final version.

Mouse Wheel Not working in a Browser

I'm using AS3 and created a MOUSE WHEEL EventListener. It works fine when testing in the Flash authoring program...but not in the browser.
(except In IE...which I found odd).
I have looked around in different forums and many people have this problem and explanations on why it doesn't work.
I believe the problem cannot be solved in Flash...but through JavaScript.
So my question is...does anyone have a JavaScript code that would make this work?
Thanks
appreciate it

Yes...I used the Flash html file
here is the code. I tried it in FireFox (the most recent version) and in Google Chrome

Why mouse wheel not working on browser ( Mac OS X) ?

at mac system, mouse wheel can't work on browser (
Safari、Firefox ), but it can work on single flash player.
it's mean the mac version flash player is support mouse
wheel, but can't work on browser.
somebody can tell me why? and how to fix this problem.

very thanks for LuigiL.
i know this way, but it's not a good way. i must do
"addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL" for all components if i
need use wheel...
i think single flash player can support, why browser can't ?
the problem is browser or OS ? can adobe contact apple to fix this
problem? or next version flash player can fix?

Mouse wheel not working in Xorg with USB mouse? Try this!

I'm just posting this so others may hit upon it when they search.
For ages, I've been unable to get my mousewheel working,with my USB mouse, although everything in xorg.conf has been just fine. I just found out I needed to load the module uhci-hcd to make it work. Yay!
This can be done manually with 'modprobe uhci-hcd', or include uhci-hcd in the MODULES list in /etc/rc.conf.

You have xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ right? If not, you have to make one, either through xorgconfig or hwd -xa.
And find a input section for mouse. Should look something like this:
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.
# Option "Resolution" "256"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
# Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection
You see the line
Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5"
Just chuck that in your mouse section if it's not there. "Normally" that should just take care of it. If not, post your xorg.config.

Photoshop CC - Zooming with "ALT"

1-2 Weeks earlier, my Photoshop work'd with no problems, but now, when i want to zoom in with ALT + Mouse Wheel but Photoshop always switch's when im pushing "ALT" to the menu. I got the standard-configuration. Does someone know, how to fix it? I need this zoom realy.

I wonder if something is off with the zoom tool? You can try resetting it.
Just select the zoom tool, right click and choose Reset Tool to see if it goes to its' normal behavior.
Another possibility is "focus" If I click outside the image, alt selects the menu. If I click inside the image, alt modifies the zoom tool.

Scrolling with the mouse wheel does not always work with 4.0? Never a problem with previsous versions.

in firefox 4.0, at times the scrolling wheel will not work. It has never been a problem with previous versions, and always works in internet explorer.

Hello Henry,
Thanks for the hint!
My mouse wheel is working, but not in flash player...strange... It is a Microsoft Comfort Mouse and I see there is already logged bug about that: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5145
Anyway besides this bug, there is an additional issue I think, that the vertical layout does not calculate properly the vertical scroll position, when certain elements are excluded from the layout. I have described this additionally in the Jira.
Regards,
Dinko

Logitech USB MX500 Optical Mouse - Scroll Wheel Not Working

Howdy,
Just started using Archlinux a few days ago and I'm starting to really like it. However, something that was pretty simple to resolve in my previous distro (Gentoo) seems to have me baffled in Archlinux.
In Gentoo, I would simply add the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" line to my mouse input section of xorg.conf and my mousewheel would work like a charm. In Archlinux I haven't had any luck getting the mouse wheel to work yet. I have tried the suggestions in other threads with adding the Buttons line to xorg (didn't need it for Gentoo), and that hasn't helped me either. I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas regarding my issue? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I got it to work, but I had to do some things first. You will
need the application called imwheel. Its not in pacman, so you have to
download it and compile it yourself. You can find it here:
http://imwheel.sourceforge.net/. A simple ./configure --prefix=/usr, make,
su -c 'make install' will work out fine. Make sure you use the prefix
because the little start script below depends on the app to be in your path.
Otherwise, it will install in /usr/local/bin and that is typically not in
your path. You can add it to the path if you want to, however.
Then, you need to change your mouse settings in xorg.conf to:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Then, create your ~/.imwheelrc file with this in it:
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right
Then, create a bash script that you can start with your window manager. Has
to start with your session, so you cant add it to rc.local. I create the
file and add the link to ~/.kde/Autostart for KDE:
#!/bin/sh
#First test if there is a display running.
if test "$DISPLAY" != "";
then
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
imwheel -k -b "67"
fi
This is how I got it to work for for my mouse... Took me a while to get all that info, so I hope it helps someone out :-P

Lenovo Bluetooth Laser mouse 41u5009 scroll wheel not working in Virtual PC

Firstly this is not a type I have a 41U5009 that is the model number printed on the bottom of the mouse and this mouse came direct from Lenovo with my T61p notebook. For some reason to get drivers for this mouse you cannot simply type in the model number on the Lenovo site as it does not recognize it as a valid model number.
My issue is that the driver I have or the mouse does not allow the scroll wheel to work under MS virtual pc 2007. I am running Vista 64 bit on the T61P laptop and the virtual pc I am running xp. If I plug in other mice such as MS cordless mini mouse or HP standard mouse the wheel from those mice works in the VM. But the wheel on the Lenovo mouse does not work, this makes me believe it is the Lenovo mouse that is the issue. I have tried using the Lenovo mouse on another pc ( a clone pc) and have the same issue with the wheel not working. I should point out that in the parent OS the wheel on the Lenovo mouse works fine. I should also point out that in the VM every other function of the mouse works fine, it is just the wheel part that does not get recognized.

Sorry, but pressing F7 did not do anything I could see in the mobile browser. I had to check with the desktop browser to see what it was supposed to do, and I don't think this caret browsing function exists in the mobile version.
Also tried installing the latest non-beta mobile FIrefox alongside the beta, without syncing anything, and the nonfunctionality of mouse scrolling is present in that one, too. Am considering giving up on mobile Firefox on at least this device.
Note: in case this information is useful, the mouse scrolling works on the Firefox start page with the thumbnails for most used links, but not on any other pages.

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

Scroll wheel on Microsoft Comfort mouse 4500 not working in Framemaker 7

Hi folks
It is another scroll wheel not working in Frame 7 question. I have just attached a Microsoft Comfort mouse 4500 to my machine, downloaded the software, IPx86_1033_8.20.468.0, for this mouse as required by Microsoft and the scroll wheel does not work, this is the fourth type of mouse installed of different makes. Is there a fix for this new mouse so I can scroll in Frame or can anyone recommend a mouse that will work?
Microsoft are saying the mouse is not fauly as it works in all other programs and PDF as well.
I have removed and reinstalled all software as recommended by Microsoft, and even tried installing in different configurations still to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Now that search is working, we can find:

Did you install the correct driver for your Windows version? Are you saying the mouse does not work in Windows after Windows is installed?

My magic mouse does not work with OS X Mountain Lion?

My magic mouse does not work the direction of vertical displacement with the update OS X Mountain Lion?

You are correct that you cannot install version 5.x of the AirPort Utility on OS X Mountain Lion. However, once installed it will run just fine. One workaround is to extract the utility directly from the disk image (.dmg) file.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.
