feature request: back and forward navigation buttons

Post by urlwolf »

Hi,

This is a feature request: add back and forward navigation buttons, like in browsers such as firefox. The ideas is that if I'm reading a paper and click on a link that takes me to the references section, I want to be able to go back to where I was reading just pressing the back button of my mouse.

Is this possible? Sounds reasonable? Acrobat has it.

Thanks

The way to go Back and forward is using Alt + left/right arrow.
And you could customize the shortcut keys in the following way:
1) Click on an empty space in the toolbars area and select Customize...
2) Open the Commands tab and select View
3) Find the Prev View/ Next View comand and set them to whatever shorttcuts you desire. I am not sure if you could bind a mouse key to them though

Good news, especially if buttons/wheel actions are the same as in Opera (had to download extensions to do the same in FF).
