Applescript to reverse scrolling
Applescript to reverse scrolling
The UnnaturalScrollWheels application stopped working for me. I really need to keep scrolling in unnatural mode while using natural mode with the trackpad.
The next best solution is to create a new shortcut in Apple’s Shortcuts app. Just open the Shortcuts app, add a new shortcut, and select AppleScript.
Here’s a script from stackoverflow that will reverse the scrolling.
