Ok, so I just switched to a MacBook Pro and am having trouble getting my various scroll options the way I'd like. I hope I'm missing something and not just butting up against a UI oversight.
Basically: I want content to track my finger movement when using the trackpad but follow traditional movement when using the scroll wheel on a mouse (i.e., scrolling the wheel backwards moves content UP, and scrolling the wheel forward moves content DOWN).
If you think about it, the concept of content tracking finger movement matches up perfectly with the concept of traditional scroll wheel movement (That is, both methods of scrolling act as if the bottom of each - your finger and the scroll wheel - are directly interacting with physical content and obey real-world physics).
But here's the problem: The available settings do not allow for this. If I check "Scroll Direction: Natural" in the Trackpad settings and then uncheck the "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" in the Mouse settings, the "Scroll Direction: Natural" automatically unchecks itself. These two items should be able to be set as-desired independently of one another.
Simply put, if "Scroll Direction: Natural" stayed checked, things would be exactly as I need them to be.
Is there a way around this?
