how to enable NaturalScrolling on with Wayland?

Currently I have natural scrolling enabled in X with the option "Option "VertScrollDelta" "-30"" in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d file.

according to the man page for libinput, to enable natural scrolling on my touchpad I would need to use "NaturalScrolling" "1" but I don't know where. I tried adding it to the same xorg.conf.d file but that didn't work. I have libinput 0.11.0-1 installed, but I have not done anything to configure it. (from what I understand Wayland uses libinput).

btw I'm using Gnome-Shell with Wayland if that makes any difference.

I've google'd but I couldn't find out how to get NaturalScrolling enabled. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: how to enable NaturalScrolling on with Wayland?

If you're using GNOME, then you can go to Settings > Mouse & Touchpad > Touchpad > Natural Scrolling.

If you wanted to do it in the terminal, I think you could do this.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad natural-scroll true
