Need to disable keypad zoom

Opera keeps changing the zoom level when I am trying to scroll through sites. It's extremely irritating. I switched back to Opera as my default browser a year or two ago but this is so grating I'm considering jumping ship.

@chuckgregory Try changing zoom shortcuts in settings.

You might also simply disable "Advanced shortcuts" (single key shortcuts) so that pressing digits 6-0 were treated only as numbers. Or (since you said you were using the keypad to scroll) try to make sure you turn off your NumLock first.

Thanks leocg and sgunhouse for your responses. I meant trackpad when I went keypad, so I think the relevant shortcuts would be for a mouse wheel which is simulated by some gesture on the trackpad. And I can't find where to disable that.

@chuckgregory I don't know any (mouse) gesture to change the zoom but you can try disabling mouse gestures in settings. Check the shortcuts section or simply search for mouse.

I disabled mouse and rocker gestures as well as advanced keyboard shortcuts long ago.

The only standard mouse-related zoom I can find involves holding Ctrl while rolling the wheel - somewhat unlikely to happen by accident.
