Select Dial/Ring Action dialog box

Created attachment 185903 [details] Select Dial/Ring Action dialog box SUMMARY Currently in tablet settings when modifying a dial action it reads Up/Down which is confusing depending on which side of the dial you're rotating it with. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings -> Drawing Tablet -> Pad and select a Dial to assign an action to OBSERVED RESULT Dialog box has "Up:" and "Down:" EXPECTED RESULT Dialog box should read "Clockwise:" and "Counter-clockwise:" or (better) have curved arrows indicating direction. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.91 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Kernel Version: 6.12.53-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When working on adding a tablet via libwacom and udev-hid-bpf, the result of clockwise/counterclockwise dial motions are confusing when labeled as Up/Down. (see attachment) For example, when moving a dial this is the raw USB output: 01 00 00 00 00 00 (01) 00 clockwise 01 00 00 00 00 00 (ff) 00 counter-clockwise And when set up to go clockwise (1) and counterclockwise (-1) in udev-hid-bpf the "Up:" label is referring to counterclockwise motion. (If you're rotating up from the right side of the dial, that would make sense, but if you rotate up from the left side of the dial, it seems reversed.) This is mostly a clarity issue since a dial on the left or right side of a tablet, or if someone left-handed or right handed, might be adjusting the dial from a different angle where Up/Down is relative. Indicating the actual direction would be much clearer.
