Does not work on Visual Studio Code #81

Thanks for such a convenient app.

I notice that it does not work on Visual Studio Code, hoping for a fix.

Using: SensibleSideButtons 1.0.6 Visual Studio Code 1.85.0 (Universal) MacOs Ventura 13.5

Yes Actually without the application sensible-side-buttoms running everything is fine. But if you start it it blocks the usage of getting forward and back

alexanderczigler commented 8 months ago

The reason it does not work is that Sensible Side Buttons simulates three-finger swipe, whereas Visual Studio Code is looking for mouse buttons 4 and 5 to navigate back and forward.

A potential solution could be to use something like Swipe To Navigate VSCode Extension.
