invert navpad horizontally

Post by ~ufo~ » 29 Oct 2016 11:41

I'm used to being able to touch something and PUSH it into the direction it should go.
Now I have to the opposite. In stead of grabbing the timeline and pushing it into the past to advance in time,
I need to push/drag to the right to advance. This is the opposite of what is graphically happening.

I know this is perfectly logic for the scroll wheel / arrow key generation (I am part of that generation).
But as soon as Apple introduced what they call 'natural' scrolling, it made perfect sense to me and I've never looked back.
And certainly on a touch screen, that should be the default behaviour.

But, for the navpad, this should mean:

the arrows still advance the timeline when you click on the right arrow.
BUT the touch pad allows you to push the timeline to the left, in order to advance to the right.
Feels more natural to me.

Hopefully you'll allow this in a future update!
