Is there a way to get natural scrolling to work on mouse and trackpad? I can’t seem to find much about it. ---

See here for trackpad, should be same for Thinkpads probably: [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo\_IdeaPad\_U430\_Touch#Track-pad](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_IdeaPad_U430_Touch#Track-pad) For mouse probably: [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libinput#Via\_Xorg\_configuration\_file](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libinput#Via_Xorg_configuration_file) ---

I don’t know on i3wm, but on KDE Plasma, there is an option called “Reverse scroll direction” under Mouse Settings. ---

That’s the thing, seems like there isn’t a GUI settings app on the i3 build. ---

To edit this config file, I have to use `sudo` and when I try to log in after making this change, this is when i3 fails to log in anymore. To fix that, I have to boot into GNOME and remove the line from the config file. _From another post:_ > Edit `/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf` > > Add there `Option "NaturalScrolling" "True"` like this: > > For your mouse: ```auto # Match on all types of devices but joysticks Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput pointer catchall" MatchIsPointer "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "NaturalScrolling" "True" EndSection ```
