The one-line method of getting natural scrolling in Linux
Posted: September 3, 2011 Filed under: Linux | Tags: linux, natural scrolling 14 Comments »Nowadays, this is what I run right after installing Linux systems:
echo "pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12" > ~/.Xmodmap && xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
No reboot required. Tested on both my laptop and my desktop machine.
Don’t like it? Reverting is as easy as running the command above again, but swapping the 5 with the 4 and the 7 with the 6.
