Change scroll direction independently in Sidecar

I have the same question that this user from Feb 2020 appears to have had:


> I find that on my Macbook Pro I really prefer scrolling with two fingers down on the trackpad to scroll down a page, but moving over to side car its completely natural to go the opposite direction. It seems currently there isn't a feature or option in Sidecar preferences to have 2 different scrolling modes for sidecar and touchpad, but I just wanted to check whether that was the actual case or not.

However, the answer on that question doesn't really address the issue I'm having.


I usually use my Macbook Pro with "Natural scrolling" *disabled*, but when on my iPad I like to use the default scrolling setting. It just feels different to have a touchpad beneath my fingers vs. the actual text of the document.


The answer on that other question points out that I can use multitouch gestures in Sidecar. I already know this – I'm using the multitouch gestures successfully! The problem, however, is with the configuration of the multitouch gestures. When I use my two fingers to scroll on my iPad in Sidecar, the resulting scroll direction is the *opposite* of what I would normally expect it to be when interacting with my iPad when not in Sidecar, and there is no way to change this without instead sacrificing my preferred Macbook Pro configuration.
