Hello everyone

is it possible to reverse the mouse wheel function for scroll and zoom?

As far as I know, not from within Cinelerra. However, in searching on the internet, it seems like you can from Ubuntu

Go to “System Setting → Input Devices → Mouse”.
Check the box “Reverse Scrolling Direction”.
Click Apply.

It might be possible for you to put this in a script to use when starting Cinelerra.

Its almost exactly the same in Manjaro.

Thank you for your replies!

Im using LXDE which doesnt have this option.

I have to look if I can configure the mouse via shell.

edit: I tried this which works:

echo pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 > ~/.Xmodmap && xmodmap .XmodmapBut the restore fails. It keeps reversed. Only reboot helps.

I think the options are saved in a file in:

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

which should always be in effect after initial reboot. Look for the word Button. But you have to be careful to not make a mistake in this file or things could stop working!
