It SHOULD be possible to remap the Mouse buttons through the GUI (in Wayland)

Basically, it was working fine until I deleted a mouse button (forward). 

It wasn't possible to re-add the key by clicking in the GUI (Wayland)... so I had to find and copy back kcminputrc from a snapshot.

So is this the issue being mentioned here???

1. Open the menu, type and open 'mouse'
2. Top right corner, click on 'configure extra mouse buttons'.
3. If none are shown, then attempt to <kbd>+ Add Binding</kbd>
4. If some are shown, delete one, and go back to 3.

Result - cannot ADD new bindings via GUI, but can delete current ones.

No this is a separate issue. The Extra Mouse binding in that menu is indeed broken, but I am talking about Haruna's action mapping menu.

In Haruna, you can remap Left/Middle/Right and their double clicks to different actions defined in Haruna. But no Forward/Back buttons are there (the ones that allows us to go forward and backward in web pages and file explorers). I do not want to add a global shortcut to those keys, I only want their behavior changing inside Haruna (to Seek forward/backward for example). 

I already filed a merge request for this feature, since I found it easy enough to implement.
