+ * useDisableBrowserZoom
+ *
+ * This React hook prevents users from zooming in/out the browser window using keyboard shortcuts,
+ * mouse wheel, or gesture events (such as pinch-to-zoom on trackpads or touch devices).
+ *
+ * Typical use case: apps with fixed-size UIs, custom editors, or when zooming would break layout.
+ *
+ * NOTE: Disabling browser zoom may negatively affect accessibility and user experience.
+ * Use with caution, especially for public-facing applications.
