--- Comment #8 from dexterdickin...@protonmail.com ---
I think it's worthwhile comparing with the behaviour of macbooks, for a bit of
context. I have to (unwillingly) use a mac for work, but personally use Linux
on my own machines.
By default, macbooks have "natural scrolling" enabled. This means that on the
trackpad
- moving fingers from top-to-bottom scrolls up
- moving fingers from left-to-right moves to the left desktop
And disabling "natural scrolling" results in the inverse behaviour:
- moving fingers from top-to-bottom scrolls down
- moving fingers from left-to-right moves to the right desktop
The "natural scrolling" direction always felt wrong to me so I have it
disabled. As far as I can remember, this "natural scrolling" is the default on
Windows as well.
So, I have it disabled and so have also become accustomed to moving between
desktops from LTR going to the right-hand desktop. However, by default KDE
"naturally" is doing LTR going to the left-hand desktop. I agree with Romain
that it makes sense to keep scrolling and swiping directions consistent by
default, so that if I change it to "unnatural" on my macbook, it is easy to
mirror that to my Linux machine.
I hope this comment can help push discussion and development forward. Thanks.
