The following command line will get the user's scroll direction setting:
defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences
com.apple.swipescrolldirection
Returns 0 or 1 based on the value of the checkbox in the pref panel. There may
be a corresponding value in the system (defaults read
/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences com.apple.swipescrolldirection), but
it is not defined by default.
Setting the value will not have any effect until the user logs out and back in.
The pref panel must reload the GlobalPreferences.plist when you trigger it
through the user interface.
Cheers,
John Craig
