requires keystrokes events permission

why does it requires keystrokes events?

Scroll Reverser monitors gestures on the trackpad, which comes under the category of Input Monitoring. Scroll Reverser does not monitor keystrokes.

I think this should become optional. Many people use scroll reverser to reverse scrolling for just the mouse.

It cannot be made optional. To reverse just the mouse, it first has to detect whether you are using the trackpad or the mouse. Gesture monitoring is the method it uses to do that, by detecting detects fingers on the trackpad or not while scrolling.

If you don't use a trackpad at all, and just need to reverse the mouse, then you can set the scrolling direction for all scrolling, directly in System Preferences.

I was afraid that that might be the case. Thanks for the clarification.
