Navigate between entries (Back/Forward button) #6352
Comments
I personally cannot remember, how they worked. |
They were just like a web browser's back and forward buttons: you click the
back button and you go to the entry you were at just before the one you are
currently on. Click back again, and you go another step backwards in
time. Forward does the opposite.
I used to use them constantly, for going back and forth between related
papers, comparing ideas between them, or linking them together with
comments.

You can still navigate using the arrow keys up/down |
@Siedlerchr The arrow keys don't navigate history, as far as I can tell.
For example, if the cursor is in the comment window, the arrow keys cause it scroll up or down
a line; if the cursor is in the entry table, the arrow keys also only scroll up and down a line, but in the entry table.
@calixtus is this the kind of feeback you were looking for?

Hey there, I'm getting a "stale status" warning, but I did provide the requested info. @Siedlerchr or @calixtus are you there? |
Hi @notuntoward , sorry for the delay. I really can't remember, that JabRef had this feature, but that does not mean, that it had not. However, i'm going to remove the stale and waiting label, so this issue won't be closed, but kept open for someone, who is interested in working on this. |
Thanks for the reply. You can try out the back/forward buttons by installing JabRef 4.x, the latest of which is available here. I've reverted to 4.x because 5.x lacks these controls. Below is a screenshot showing the back/forward buttons on the the 4.3.1 main menu. |
This issue has been inactive for half a year. Since JabRef is constantly evolving this issue may not be relevant any longer and it will be closed in two weeks if no further activity occurs. As part of an effort to ensure that the JabRef team is focusing on important and valid issues, we would like to ask if you could update the issue if it still persists. This could be in the following form:
Thank you for your contribution! |
After using JabRef 5 for a week, I'm really missing the forward/back buttons that were in JabRef 4.
Were these deleted on purpose? Can they be restored?
