Description b0uncyfr0 2008-12-12 15:25:24 UTC

Version:           version 1.1.80 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Its been a long dream of mine to see some sort of improvement in the KDE desktop regarding mouse sidebuttons.

Konqueror never supported them and thus it was a waste to even have them. Thus i think its only right that dolphin should have this, as it is going to be our best file manager yet.

A simple back/forward action is all i ask. I installed Firefox on my kde exclusive system and it worked. Its only resonable that this gets some support in out future KDE desktops.

Keep up the good work--dolphin devs.

I don't understand, please elaborate.. "back/forward action"?

Huh?? There is a back and a forward shortcut that is "settable" if that is what you mean.

Needs more info.

I am sure she wants a default action for the special buttons from keyboard/mouse.

When pressing left side mouse button, Konqueror/Dolphin should do a back (Alt+Left). 
The same goes for keyboards (ex. Microsfot Natural 4000 has a pair of Back/Forward buttons under the Space button). Firefox acts when those buttons are pressed, I believe the old Konqueror also did, but not the new Konqueror/Dolphin.

The key codes sent are something in the line of XF86_Back, XF86_Forward.

Removing the NEEDSINFO tag as it is rather clear: the feature request is for back / forward operation in Dolphin of the back / forward mouse and keyboard hardware buttons.

Comment 4 Frank Reininghaus 2009-12-04 17:59:59 UTC

We're in feature freeze now, but fust for the record: It seems that the Qt::MouseButton codes for these buttons are Qt::XButton1 and Qt::XButton2. I can't test that though because I don't have a mouse with these buttons.
