Please follow the format below for requesting a feature.

**The problem that this feature will solve:**

When you use iPad version in left-handed mode most of the time, it is hard to switch to desktop mode mentally as efficiency is hampered by muscle memory of where tools and options are located.

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

I’d like a checkbox in the settings on desktop platforms to mirror/swap the UI same as iPad.

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**

I can’t achieve the same efficiency as iPad without it. It slows me down.

I run into the same problem. Would love this ability on the desktop.
