I have a volume control wheel on the bases of my laptop which I always spin by mistake. When spun, the letters 6 ~ start to pop up in rapid succession.

Annoying as this is, when in my vim environment, it starts to run along my sentence and change the case of all my characters. This is not the only problem, this is the most inconvenient one though.

I have tried adding the following to my .vimrc but this isn't working as predicted:

(N,v,I)noremap <ctrl+v+vol_wheel> <nop>

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  1. First find out the keycode, launch this command

    xev

  2. Then scroll the wheel

  3. To disable it run:

    xmodmap -e "keycode <number-from-command-above> = 0x0000"
