So I've been trying them all, 1-9

`config=defaultConfig

1 - key=6

2 - mouseClick=9

3 - key=8

4 - key=v

5 - mouseClick=8

6 - key=9

7 - key=F3

8 - key=i

9 - key=0

10 - key=F4

11 - key=ctrl+w

12 - key=end

13 - key=F5

14 - key=F1

configEnd`

This is the config I want to run, but everything except the mouceClicks seem to work.
I don't know if capitalization has an effect in this case, but your GUIDEKeymap has mouseclick while in the configuration section you have mouseClick. Doesn't really matter, neither works. Can't even simulate a normal '1' click.

In the other issue you mentioned trying to remove the xdotool dependency, so I guess this issue would leave that way too, but I'm still looking for a replacement. In the end I'm just trying to bind the "forwards" and "backwards" key to side-button 2 and 5

Naga Epic Chroma mouse, btw, on Manjaro

You are correct. the run=xdotool method works. As someone who's just coming to this tool and reading the old stuff, this wasn't obvious to me.
The alternative hacky method was:
Alt_L+Right Alt_L+Left

but while the run thing doesn't really look as elegant in code, I like it better in terms of result. Thanks for the quick response 👍
