Forward backward mouse buttons in konqueror?

Is there some trick to getting the forward and backward buttons on my mouse working with konqueror/dolphin? They work perfectly in firefox without me doing anything, but in konqueror they don't work.
If I go to configure shortcuts it doesn't register when I click the buttons. I've run xev and they show up as button 8 and button 9. I've set my xorg.conf mouse section as per the wiki to get 7 button mice to work but still no dice.

Use btnx: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Get … d_4_-_btnx
IMHO, this is the easiest way to configure your mouse buttons' behaviour.

How to setup LR 4.2 to use forward/reverse mouse buttons

I recently had to reinstall LR 4.2 due to a hard drive failure. Previously, I could cycle through my photos by using the forward or reverse buttons on the side ofmy Microsoft mouse. Now I cannot. How can I get LR to respond again? I have set the mouse to 'enable program specific settings', but it did not help and I do not think I had to do this step in the past. Thanks.

After further inspection of the Microsoft mouse settings in the control panel, I found that each button can be programmed to a keystroke. I just made the front side button the right arrow key and the rear button the left arrow key. It works as it should now to cycle through the images in the filmstrip and the Grid view.

Enabling back/forward mouse buttons in Dolphin

Hi,
I am new to Arch and am not completely sure yet on how to go about providing a solution that I found. I've searched the Wiki and the Forums for this issue and wasn't able to find a solution through any Arch site. I was, however, able to find a solution posted on the KDE forums and would like to share it with anyone who is suffering the same issue.
The original forum post can be found here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=85430. I will summarize it here though for convenience.
First, you must install xautomation which can be downloaded at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7312 and xbindkeys, which can be installed using Pacman.
Next, create a text file named .xbindkeysrc and save it to your home directory. The content of the file should be:
# For the benefit of emacs users: -*- shell-script -*-
# xbindkeys configuration #
# Version: 1.8.0
# If you edit this file, do not forget to uncomment any lines
# that you change.
# The pound(#) symbol may be used anywhere for comments.
# To specify a key, you can use 'xbindkeys --key' or
# 'xbindkeys --multikey' and put one of the two lines in this file.
# The format of a command line is:
# "command to start"
# associated key
# A list of keys is in /usr/include/X11/keysym.h and in
# /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h
# The XK_ is not needed.
# List of modifier:
# Release, Control, Shift, Mod1 (Alt), Mod2 (NumLock),
# Mod3 (CapsLock), Mod4, Mod5 (Scroll).
# The release modifier is not a standard X modifier, but you can
# use it if you want to catch release events instead of press events
# By defaults, xbindkeys does not pay attention with the modifiers
# NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock.
# Uncomment the lines above if you want to pay attention to them.
#keystate_numlock = enable
#keystate_capslock = enable
#keystate_scrolllock= enable
# Examples of commands:
"xbindkeys_show"
control+shift + q
# set directly keycode (here control + f with my keyboard)
"xterm"
c:41 + m:0x4
# specify a mouse button
"xterm"
control + b:2
#"xterm -geom 50x20+20+20"
# Shift+Mod2+alt + s
## set directly keycode (here control+alt+mod2 + f with my keyboard)
#"xterm"
# alt + c:0x29 + m:4 + mod2
## Control+Shift+a release event starts rxvt
#"rxvt"
# release+control+shift + a
## Control + mouse button 2 release event starts rxvt
#"rxvt"
# Control + b:2 + Release
# dolphin go back
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Right' 'keyup Alt_L'"
b:9
# dolphin go forward
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Left' 'keyup Alt_L'"
b:8
# End of xbindkeys configuration #
You then need to create an autostart entry in /home/user_name/.kde4/Autostart named xbindkeys.desktop containing the following code:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=xbindkeys
GenericName[en_US]=
GenericName=
Icon=
MimeType=
Name[en_US]=
Name=
Path=
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
Version=1.0
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-DCOP-ServiceType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
X-KDE-autostart-after=kdesktop
Now just reboot your computer and you should have back/forward mouse button functionality in Dolphin.

I know this thread is really old but I got the mouse buttons working using this solution (I have a 9 button mouse):
Firs make sure you have xmodmap installed on your system:
# pacman -S xorg-xmodmap
Then create the following shell script: ~/.kde4/Autostart/xmodmap.sh
#!/bin/bash
xbindkeys -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
then make the script executable
$ chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/xmodmap.sh
Restart KDE and hopefully the forward and backward mouse buttons should be working.

Side mouse buttons don't go forward/back in Firefox

This has been a long time issue that I kind of ignored by using Mouse Gestures add-on, but I'd like to resolve it if possible. In Opera my side buttons on the mouse go forward/backward just fine. They used to work in Firefox but haven't since Firefox 3 update. Here's the mouse section of my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Again, it works in Opera but not in FF (and I use and greatly prefer FF).
TIA

From the firefox wiki:
In Firefox 3 on Linux, the mouse button assignments for Back and Forward have changed. Previous versions of Firefox used buttons 6 and 7 for Back and Forward, respectively. Firefox 3 uses buttons 8 and 9. You can configure Firefox to use 6 and 7 by editing some hidden preferences.
1. In the Location bar, type about:config, and press Enter.
2. In the Filter: box, type mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.
3. Double-click on mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action, set the value to 2, and click OK.
4. Double-click on mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines, set the value to -1, and click OK.
5. Double-click on mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines, which should set the value to false.
You can now close the about:config page.

How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
I'll try this once more.
1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

Thanks so much!
Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

I can't get big forward/backward buttons

I have always customized my Firefox browser (thats why I have always loved Firefox since back in version 1.x. However I noticed that Firefox is suddenly becoming less and less customizable and more and more frustrating. I have gotten it to where I want it (almost). For some reason my forward/backward buttons are stuck on small. When they are in the "Navigation Toolbar" they are nice and big, but they shrink in the "Menu Bar". They never did this in 3.6 or prior to 3.6, they always worked fine. I tried turning "Small Icons" on and off with no success.
Here's what I mean:

Magic mouse forward backward swiping does not work from time to time

Hello...
from time to time the forward/backward swiping functionality of my magic mouse does not work (The scrolling works though). Disconnecting and reconnecting does not do the trick. So I guess it might be a software problem. Restarting the iMac does not always help at once. After a couple of times it will work though again.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Bjoern

When using the right mouse button in Yahoo mail inbox (Firefox 8.0.1, Win 7, Yahoo Mail Plus) the Firefox navigation window (Back, Forward etc...) is on top of the Yahoo email menu (Open, Print, Reply etc...). This happens in Firefox safe mode as well.

This also happened in Windows XP which I was using until recently.
The Yahoo mail menu is there but the Firefox menu is on top of it. I tried Firefox safe mode with everything disabled and the problem still happened. I tried Yahoo mail in IE 9 and the right mouse button works correctly.

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

How can I disable the mouse button 4 and 5 "forward" and "back" functions through firefox?

I've seen this problem come up on forums before but was unable to find a good solution.
When using Ventrilo, I have my speak button bound to the mouse button 4 of my logitech mouse. This button is conveniently placed for gaming because it makes use of my otherwise unused right thumb, and I have been using it for years and probably couldn't adjust if i tried to change it.
Firefox uses mouse button 4 for the "back" function, meaning that if i'm on ventrilo while browsing the web with firefox, i have to remember to move the cursor to the menu bar at the bottom of my screen or go back a page. it's infuriating if i forgot, especially if i'm playing some sort of browser game at the time, as i basically have to restart whatever i'm doing.
The only solutions i've found for this involve binding mouse button 4 to some other (rarely used) key, which is an annoying solution at best, or changing some vital computer files, which I dont have the expertise to do myself and dont trust anyone else to do for me. It's an absolutely unacceptable solution anyway: why should i have to change my computer's files to disable a function which should be editable through firefox?
does anyone know how this can be fixed? or know how we can get mozilla to put this feature into some future patch, as other people have been asking them to do for YEARS?

This can be a highly frustrating problem. I just spent 45 minutes working on an email. Nearing the end I go to grab my mouse after typing and accidentally hit mouse 4 and lose everything. This isn't the first time I have lost work or an email. I would say the ONLY reason why there currently lacks a strong feedback against this is because the majority of people do not have mouse 4+5 buttons on their mice. Please add the option to just disable this "feature". It's just far to easy to accidentally hit these buttons accidentally and potentially lose a lot. I don't know anyone who actually uses these buttons anyways.

Anyway to make mouse button 4 and 5 not go back and forward but still retain there functionality with other programs

This has been brought up a few times but Mozilla refuses to add this functionality or to simply explain to us why they cant. And please do not tell me to just use X-Mouse Controls because there is absolutely no reason why this can't be done or explained to us.
Don't really care if this counts as spam...this issue has been annoying since Ventrilo and Firefox has co-existed.
Thank you, Have a nice day!

You can't do this for Firefox without using X-Mouse Button Control AFAIK.<br />
Firefox doesn't have support to change those mouse button actions and at least that program appears to work as reported by some.

How can I code for a click and drag to progress forward/backward in timeline

I'm working on a project, the goal is to have a .swf animation like this.
The functionality I'm looking for is:
1. I need my animation to make one full rotation and stop,
and then
2. I need to fix my AS3 so you have to CLICK/HOLD/DRAG to progress forward and backward through the timeline, but only when your holding the mouse button down.
Currently the code progresses the frame forward and backward in relation to the mouseX position.
Here is my current code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var startPosition:Number=mouseX;
var delayTime=10;
gotoAndStop(1);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,onMouse);
    var currentPosition:Number=mouseX;
    if(mouseX-startPosition<=0){
        nextFrame();
    }else{
        prevFrame();
    setTimeout(setListener, delayTime);
function setListener(){
    startPosition=mouseX;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,onMouse);
any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Forward and Back Buttons Don't Work

Greetings,
My forward and back buttons on the mouse don't work in PSE 7. Instead I always have to click the forward or back buttons on the toolbar, or use keyboard shortcuts (alt+left arrow or alt+right arrow).
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thanks,
Shane.

This is working for me. The forward and backward buttons on the toolbar would work only with pressing of Alt button i.e. Alt+Left arrow.
Suppose you are in Single image view, and press left and right arrow keys, application would switch to previous and next photo respectively.
Please let me know if you have other concern.
