[Mac] 如何使用 Apple Script 快速切換 Natural Scrolling 的滾動方向

Table of Contents

問題

我自己平時工作外接滑鼠時，習慣將滾動方向設定為非自然滾動，但是當我使用觸控板時，我又習慣將滾動方向設定為自然滾動，但這樣的習慣導致我時常需要進入 系統偏好設定 -> 觸控板 -> 滾動與縮放 -> 自然滾動。然而 Apple Script 可以如何幫助我快速地切換滾動方向？

編寫 Apple Script

1. 新建一個 Apple Script 檔案: toggle_scroll_direction.applescript

-- Open the Trackpad settings in System Preferences
do shell script "open x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.Trackpad-Settings.extension"

-- Delay to ensure System Events can interact with UI elements
delay 0.7

-- Begin interacting with System Events
tell application "System Events"
    -- Access the System Settings process
    tell process "System Settings"
        -- Click the second radio button to select a specific tab in the Trackpad settings
        click radio button 2 of tab group 1 of group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of window 1

        -- Toggle the "Natural scrolling" checkbox in the Trackpad settings
        click checkbox "Natural scrolling" of group 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of window 1

        -- Quit the System Settings application
        tell application "System Settings" to quit
    end tell
end tell

2. 執行 toggle_scroll_direction.applescript 測試

osascript toggle_scroll_direction.applescript

預期: 能夠自動開啟 系統偏好設定 -> 觸控板 -> 滾動與縮放 -> 自然滾動 並且切換滾動方向，這樣我們就可以透過一行指令來快速切換滾動方向 🎉

整合進 Raycast

如果你有用 Raycast 的話，你可以將 Apple Script 照以下程式碼整合進 Script Commands，這樣就直接透過快捷鍵或呼叫指令來快速切換滾動方向 🚀
