Feature request: mouse back/forward buttons

[qubodup]

My mouse has navigation buttons (forward/back).

They work in internet browsers (Chrome) and file browsers (Thunar) but not in ROX. I suggest enabling back/forward functionality for them if it's possible to determine which buttons are back/forward. If not, I suggest to make it possible to the user to enable/disable extra mouse buttons for navigation and to customize which buttons should be back/forward.

Are you using rocker jesture(hold left and right click)? I think in file manager back button is up in most case and forward button is useless even in web browser.

Sorry, I don't know what a rocker gesture is.

At least to me, this feature is useful in Windows. It exists in Thunar as well for example (video: https://youtu.be/cJ68BQNsem4 ).

I don't think it exists in ROX (only backspace for "go up one level").

It'd be nice to at least be able to use "back" navigation mouse button for "go up one level" in ROX.

The rocker jesture is assigned to "go up one level". You already can go up by 'press'(keep it) left and right click in anywhere of Icon View.

And, I suggest to use Window Link in the case of the video. Scroll free space of the toolbar, double click left if you want into dir, double click right button if you want go up in same positon.

Anyway, assignment "go up one level" to extra buttons is good. If I get a device having extra buttons I will take it.

I'll be glad to order or pay for a cheap mouse with navigation buttons ( for example from aliexpress.com/item/x/32694138799.html ) qubodup@gmail.com if you're interested :)

Thank you, but I have a trackball http://clearlysuperiortech.com/cst2545-5wproductpage.html having jacks for external buttons. There is no good button though.
