Mouse Scaling in macOS -current

Instead of doing this:

~ % defaults read .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling

2.5

~ % defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling 0

/// this is metadata :: // optional step.

read .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling

...I can just go to Ventura/Accesiblity/Pointer and switch a bool parameter?

That means that I don't need the terminal for daily use?

MacBook Air M1 disable mouse acceleration Im on Ventura 13.5.1 and it seems that the command "defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling -integer -1" no longer works to disable mouse acceleration. Anyone know of an alternative command or way to disable mouse acceleration?

Different scrolling directions for different users Is there a way to set different mouse scrolling behaviour for different users on the same Mac? IE: a Mac has multiple user accounts. When one logs in the mouse scroll direction is natural. When the other logs in the mouse scroll direction is 'not' natural? Thanks, JK

M1 MacBook Pro 13.5 Ventura Secondary click trackpad gesture (currently two-finger tap) triggers App Exposé instead of contextual click My Secondary Click trackpad gesture (currently two-finger tap) triggers App Exposé instead of contextual click. Ventura 13.5, MacBook Pro M1 16". I suspect this occurred because of a mishandled setting when upgrading to Ventura (going from Sysprefs to Settings), because it only occurs for my primary account, not for new accounts. It's quite similar to Right click (two finger tap) on trackpad … - Apple Community, but that didn't occur under Ventura. Does anybody know how I can target just this setting? I'm hoping there's a system default that I could access using Terminal. I don't think there's access for the solution provided by the poster of the entry linked above in the Ventura interface. Can't be sure, there are so many. I don't know how long ago it happened, because I usually use a mouse. I don't want to perform a clean installation. Thanks.
