Description Bob Altron 2016-01-01 13:48:52 UTC

Cannot set mouse button 10 to be used for gestures.
Mouse button 9 is the forward button on the mouse, physically.
Mouse button 10 should be the thumb button, but when mouse button 10 is set for gestures it's still using the forward button.
So both button 9 and 10 are pointing to the same physical mouse button in gestures.

Tried to set every number in gestures, but none of them use the thumb button.

According to xev the thumb button is button 10.
xbindkeys can also use it as button 10.

Reproducible: Always

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
