How to disable the Canvas Zoom in Power BI

Hi everyone 

 

I want to disable the Keyboard shortcuts related to Zoom the canvas ( Ctrl + Scroll down or up), I've checked all settings and PBI desktop and the Service but I didn't find any option.

 

Do you know any tips? Thanks in advance

 

PD: I'm not sure, it could be related to the new feature, which was released in May 2022  ( Canvas Zoom)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I don't see how you could do that within Power BI at all.  If a person is looking at their phone they can zoom in or out with their fingers.  If a person is looking at a report on a computer in a browser window, they can select ctrl and up/down at will.  This is about the computer itself.  If you have a group policy and want to implement that organizationally, there is a way to do that.  See this link: How to Disable Keyboard Shortcuts on a Windows or Mac (alphr.com)
