The opposite of an antagonist muscle is a protagonist muscle, often referred to as an agonist. The agonist muscle is the primary muscle responsible for performing a specific movement, while the antagonist muscle opposes that movement. For example, during a bicep curl, the biceps act as the agonist, and the triceps serve as the antagonist.

As typing is not a motion, but rather a complex sum of multiple motions, there is no answer to this question...

What reverses the action of a prime mover?
An antagonist muscle reverses the action of a prime mover. When the prime mover contracts to produce a movement, the antagonist muscle relaxes to allow that movement to occur in the opposite direction. This coordination between prime movers and antagonists is essential for controlled and coordinated movement.
