The present documentation says :
/ A different application of the scale tool is mirroring objects, which 
is effectively nothing but a scaling with a negative factor in one 
direction. To mirror in the direction of the screen// X or Y axes, press 
*XKEY* or *YKEY*, respectively, during scale mode. If you want a precise 
mirroring, make sure you don't move the mouse before confirming the 
scaling with *LMB* or *ENTER*.

/This no more up to date with 2.32 (at least on my PC), X press once 
scales toward the global X axis (without mirroring) and presse twice 
scales toward the local object X axis. same for Y_ and_ the Z axis

The best method I found to effectively mirror object is (in edit mode/ 
or normal mode)
Press S for entering scale mode
Press X or Y or Z (once or twice for definig local or global mirroring)
Press N (for entering numerical value, the selected axis value appears 
between  <  > )
Enter "-1" for mirroring
Press SpaceBar to validate the moves

Remarque   : while entering the numerical value you can circle the 
selected axis by pressing TAB

Hope this help
Best regards
