SUMMARY
I would like to be able to inverse the direction of the three-finger swipe touchpad gesture which changes the virtual desktop. I am not alone, other users request that as well: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=177679

> I am used to Windows 10 and Gnome where swipe to the right moves me to the virtual desktop to the right and swipe to the left moves me to the virtual desktop to the left. On KDE this is inversed. Is there any way to change it? Enabling/disabling natural scrolling doesn't change anything. 

Also I think in macOS the direction is the inverse of what KDE is using.

It would be very very nice to have a config / setting to change the direction of three-finger swipe

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  three-finger swipe to change the desktop

EXPECTED RESULT
It should swipe in the other direction.
