Touchpad scroll direction

[leesings]

使用触摸板左右滚动时，水平滚动条跟随着触摸方向进行滚动。这和常用的编辑器如vs code的滚动方式相反。

期望能有一个选项配置，可以开启水平相反的滚动方向，使得触摸板水平滚动能更符合操作逻辑。

Translated by Bing:

When scrolling left or right using the Touchpad, the horizontal scroll bar scrolls in the direction of the touch. This is contrary to the scrolling method of common editors such as VS Code.

It is expected that there to be a configuration option that can turn on horizontal opposite scrolling directions, so that the horizontal scrolling of the Touchpad can be more in line with the operating logic.

Hi @leesings, can you attach screen records (e.g. made with https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif, as mp4 or gif) for VS Code's scrolling and Notepad2's.

I don't have a touchpad but expect it would follow the vertical scrolling option.

This will cause all scrolling to reverse

The desired effect is to slide up in both directions and see the following content. Double pointed left swipe to see the content on the right.

It's normal to scroll up now, but when you slide your fingers to the left, you see the content on the left

commit 666f766 applied a temporary patch from https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2449/, @leesings can you test lasted build from https://github.com/zufuliu/notepad4/actions?

[leesings]

It's ready, thanks to your great efforts!

Hi @leesings, can you help test latest build (commit b453f87 made some changes), and whether horizontal scrolling still works as expected?

This build failed.

This build failed.

It's win32 (install v141_xp toolchain failed) and llvm-mingw (not figured why, maybe due to large concurrent jobs) build failed (started in this week). Commit 666f766 was reverted by 75a543a, you can test this commit instead.
