Bug Description

I love the features of Terminator but one thing that consistently annoys me is the following:

1. From one virtual desktop containing something like a web browser, scroll the web page with the mouse/trackpad with inertial scrolling turned on.
2. While it is still scrolling, press CNTRL+ALT+Arrow key down to go to Terminator on my second virtual desktop.
3. Observe that the font in Terminator either gets zoomed in or zoomed out depending on the direction of the scrolling from #1.

This gets very annoying and happens much more frequently than you'd imagine. I'd like to be able to disable CNTRL+mouse/trackpad scrolling for zooming the font size.

IMO it makes a lot of sense. (I've disabled Ctrl+scroll zooming in my Firefox ages ago for the very same reason.)

An option for this would be great, I regularly trigger zooming accidentally on my laptop when I brush against the touchpad with my palm.

Not sure which one has precedence... So +1'ing here as well. Just did it here, I think the two bugs are related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1505292

Great job on Terminator, it boosted my usage of the terminal for quite a great deal.
Thanks!
