File roller should support using the 4th and 5th mouse buttons as back and
forward, just like firefox.

No luck in 2.12...
Comment 2 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2008-01-12 00:23:52 UTC 
fyi, most of the time these are buttons 8 and 9 (as reported by xev)

Here is my first stab at this.  Maps mouse buttons 8 and 9 to the forward and back buttons respectively.  Based on an earlier version of nautilus.  Did not cause an issues for after some brief testing.  I'm planning on further investigating how nautilus does it now for consistencies sake.

Looks like they are based off XF86 "keys."  If we go this route, we could support a lot of other hot keys on multimedia keyboards, etc.
Comment 5 James 2009-11-14 02:45:01 UTC 
Actually, that is how nautilus does it.  XF86 "keys" are for additional keys on multimedia keyboards.  My original patch is ready for committing if the main project manager wants to check it out and commit it :)

Cheers
