Add mouse hardware back button and also Alt+Left wherever it was missing (6.48 KB, patch)

Description Lasse Schuirmann 2015-04-02 08:27:59 UTC 
My mouse has hardware back and forward buttons. They work in nautilus but not in software. Shouldn't be hard to get that working.

Here it is.

I hope it also works correctly for RTL locales. I mean, whichever mouse button is a "hardware back button" in the means of RTL users it returns the button number 8. Please fix me if I'm wrong.
