Scroll direction in Mouse Scroll Bindings is unintuitive #4876

The sign of Amount dictates which direction we're scrolling in, ie. a negative amount will scroll in the opposite direction. This is not intuitive for at least 2 users (myself being 1 of them) so I think we should look at alternative approaches to defining scroll direction.

Ideas to fix this could be to use a checkbox "Reverse direction", or a 2-state drop-down with up/down similar to how we have vertical/horizontal. Reverse direction is probably the better option of the 2, as it's likely more easier to program in (due to the fact that the dropdown method would have to be dynamic to accommodate scroll direction).
