167840 - Keyboard shortcuts change for Back and Forward breaks mouse button navigation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 160556

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Smith]

The change to Cmd+[ for Back and Cmd+] for Forward breaks mouse button
navigation. I have a Microsoft Optical with navigation buttons that send
Cmd+Left Button and Cmd+Right Button for Back and Forward, respectively. Perhaps
I should report to Microsoft an enhancement request to be able to change what
the button events send, but perhaps also Chimera can have a Preference that
allows these shortcuts to be editable.

Hmm, I meant to say that the mouse buttons send Cmd+Left Arrow and Cmd+Right
Arrow. Hope that was obvious. Also, I of course mean this is the case for
version 0.5.

Paul, are you sure that isn't configurable?

Comment 3

[Paul Smith]

If you mean, is the mouse configurable, in this case, the MS Optical mouse, it's
not. If you mean Chimera, it is, as I learned today, through the 'defaults'
command in Terminal:

defaults write org.mozilla.navigator NSUserKeyEquivalents '{"Back" = 
"@\UF702"; "Forward" = "@\UF703";}'

That seems to work for me. I guess that settles it, except for the lack of an
option in the GUI preferences.

I don't have the optical mouse, but it would certainly be nice to have the Back
and Forward menu shortcuts configurable. Having to remember a different
keystroke combination for just one browser is irksome.
