![]() When you move your finger on the touchpad, you're "touching" the cursor, not the UI elements on the screen. You aren't "pushing" the element on the screen with your cursor, it's an indirect control for the scroll bars. The paper metaphor makes no sense when you're dealing with a cursor. You've been scrolling perfectly fine without issue for many, many years. Robot, you still haven't given me any reasons why you as a user should bother to change your behavior for literally zero gain. And I think as OS X and iOS evolve, it will seem more and more strange to scroll the other way. I don't think it will take very long for it to become the "normal" (most common) way to scroll on a Mac. I don't understand how anyone can be so opposed to the suggestion of merely trying something new. The only thing I'm arguing for is that if you're willing to try it, give it a week. If you don't like it, that's fine, change it back. But it's not a stronger argument than anyone else's. You can argue that it's different on a Mac because you're not touching it directly, and you're not wrong. And again, it's the same on the iPhone and iPad, so people are used to it. It's not confusing if someone says to go down the page and you have to push it the other way. It's not a hard concept because everyone is already familiar with it. How are you doing this? You're pushing it up. There's a difference between manipulating something with your fingers and issuing a command to "go this way". If Apple made any mistakes here, they are not big ones.Įdit: Oh I meant to say, while you're getting used to it, this is the worst thing you can do:Ĭlick to expand.Wow, so you're arguing about this and you haven't even used Lion? Or are you just asking questions you already know the answer to? The arrow keys haven't changed. Four and a half stars in the App Store with nearly 13,000 reviews. I having a hard time thinking of other scenarios, and I really can't say I see that last one happening all that often. Returns their new computer to Apple, they offer to help, but they refuse and just want their money back. Someone hates it, can't find the setting, can't be bothered to ask anyone. Someone hates it, can't find the setting, asks someone else (Apple, a message board, friend, etc.)Ĥ. Someone hates it, just turns the setting off.ģ. Someone tries it, gets used to it, not a big deal in the end.Ģ. ![]() Personally I see a few possible scenarios here:ġ. If someone really can't find it I'm inclined to think this is the least of their concerns-they'll probably have a hard time with a lot of things. It's very prominent in the mouse and trackpad settings. My point here is it was a mistake for Apple to create this schism. So, I'm trying to go between opposite and normal in my mind. But then, in hypergraph to pan, it's the same it's always been. I find myself schizophrenically not knowing which way to go.Īnd, it's not just for surfing. In my house, all my machines aren't upgraded to Lion - so I don't know which way is up on most of my machines. Launch Pad you can ignore - this is something that creates lots of user confusion. I think the truth is, it DOESN'T make sense to try to unify iOS and OSX. I don't see how many people are going to sit down and say, "This is better." At best, they're going to create a big schism in their user base. And power users aren't liking it either, from what I've read. I get the desire to unify things, but this will drive new users from the Windows world away hard. I can't help but think Apple has made a mistake here. UPDATE (10 March): Thanks to a user who figured out the technical work, Update 1.8.2 with a fix is now released.My God, has this made me crazy the last few days. If anyone has any technical info on all this or solutions btw, I am all ears. So I am afraid for now the only course of action is to wait and see if Apple makes any further changes to "un-break" it. That means whatever Scroll Reverser does, it can't reverse the momentum part of the scroll, which is giving the annoying "snap back" effect. ![]() It seems Safari is ignoring the direction of the scrolling input during the momentum phase of the scroll, and instead deriving it from some other source. The reason you don't see the problem with the other apps is that they don't attempt to reverse smooth scrolling, only discrete scroll wheels. ![]() Unfortunately, Safari on Monterey 12.2 breaks Scroll Reverser's method of reversing smooth scrolling devices - that is, trackpads and the Magic Mouse. However, neither of them can distinguish the Magic Mouse from the Trackpad - that has always been Scroll Reverser's speciality. MOS and UnnaturalScrollWheels are the main alternatives to Scroll Reverser and both are very good apps.
