Can I get inverted (i.e. Mac-like) scrolling on my touchpad?

  • 772

I have two-finger scrolling enabled on my touchpad. Moving my fingers up scrolls up and moving them down scrolls down. I would like to have the direction of scrolling inverted, in much the same way the Mac does it. Can I do this? How?

    Just paste 

    pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

    inside a file named: .Xmodmap and save it to your home folder :) Don't forget to log out and back in

  2. I suppose the best way to do this is by using dconf-editor:

    • Open Terminal
    • Type in deconf-editor and hit Enter
    • Now go to org>gnome>settings-daemon>peripherals>touchpad and uncheck natural scroll

    Here's a screenshot of deconf-editor after making changes:
