I have to say I really appreciate this! I was going down very similar lines just last week (I had installed Hammerspoon and was experimenting with some applescript hacks, but to no avail).
Just intercepting the actual scroll and inverting it is a really elegant solution (that doesn't require a relog) which is great.
This solves one of the two biggest gripes I had about MacOs - with the other being my inablility to "pin" my dock to one of my monitors, overriding the swap functionality. Thanks!
I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a very long time and my reasoning is that on a trackpad, natural makes a lot of sense intuitively, since you are "pushing" the document (page/app/whatever) the direction you want it to move.
Whereas when I am using a mouse I feel like I the document is below the mouse more or less and when I move the scrollwheel it is physically moving the document as if it was tied to the scrollwheel.
Not sure if that makes any sense, as this is just some internal feelings on it, but I have beeen manually toggling the natural scroll when i plug and unplug my mouse ever since I started using MacOs
The escape key will be especially welcome by me, as I found the touchbar exceptionally hard to deal with, and I would often have to hit it three or four times to get vim to exit insert mode. I actually didn't have much trouble with the arrow keys, despite all the negative feedback I saw for them online.
Hopefully this trend continues and they can iterate on this model even further.
I really like the new optional operator, this might be what gets me to bite the bullet and start moving some of my projects over to typescript - dealing with potential undefined objects in those chains is one of the things I actively dislike about writing in vanilla Javascript.
