Q: AppleTV Remote Swipe Direction
It seems to me that the swipe direction on the touch pad for the new AppleTV is backwards. On my iPad, for example, to see information below what shows on the screen, I move my finger up as if pushing the displayed information up and exposing what's below it. Similarly, to see what's to the right, I move my finger to the left as if pushing the visible document to the left under my view window.
But with the AppleTV, it's just the opposite. It wands me to swipe in a direction to move the view window rather than to move the document that it's viewing. It seems to me that we went through this transformation on the Macintosh several years ago and that for a while there were settings to let you choose one option or the other.
I would like to see (or be told where it is if it exists) a setting for the AppleTV to let me choose the swiping method that I would like to use.
If it's already there, please tell me how to do it.
Thanks.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11)
