I tried natural scrolling for a couple of days. I think I didn´t scroll in the right direction on my first attempt even a single time. Not natural for me.

Yup. That's what happens, we scroll the wrong direction every time, until we get it. Might have been that 4 days was the magic number. But whatever. It's not that important.

It is nice that we are allowed to configure things to work either way.

I recall someone installing all their mixer faders in upside down so they could "pull" the sounds they want more of out of the mixer, and "push away" the sounds they wanted less of. Makes sense.

I was wondering what the issue was here, then I realized it was about trackpads. I use a mouse with a scroll wheel. Natural scroll for the windows and up for up, down for down for the faders.
