Default Horizontal mouse wheel scroll direction is backwards in Windows

In virtually all Windows apps -- including all Microsoft apps, all Win32 controls, the browser I'm using (Chrome), so on and so forth -- horizontal scrolling works like this:

mouse wheel up = scroll left
mouse wheel down = scroll right

In Reaper (and Cubase, by the way), this is backwards. So years of training in Windows produces the wrong result in Reaper and I'm constantly accidentally scrolling in the wrong direction.

There is an option to reverse scroll direction for multitouch, but not for normal mouse usage.

Thank goodness for this old thread! I was going mad, the latest update reversed my mouse scroll, and I couldn't find any preferences that would fix it - had no idea mousescroll was set via actions menu. Thanks!

+100 !

For anyone who's willing to change this default behavior too, the screenshot isn't available anymore so here is the howto in text format:

- open actions ("?" shortcut)
- search for "View: Scroll horizontally actions"
- you'll find the default action: "View: Scroll horizontally (MIDI CC relative/mousewheel)" and the reversed one
- just assign Alt+Mousewheel (and HorizWheel ?) to "View: Scroll horizontally reversed (MIDI CC relative/mousewheel)" action

=> Done
