Mouse Back Forward To Navigate Setting

[pavelisel]

Mac Os

VSCode Settings:
Workbench › Editor: Mouse Back Forward To Navigate
Navigate between open files using mouse buttons four and five if provided.

Issue:
When mouse 3rd party software like logi options is installed it changes buttons mapping for number four and five. So it works like Back Forward not like buttons four and five.

Request:
Start listening for specific Back and Forward actions in addition to button number four and five

Is the issue as follows?

1. Have software that changes the mapping of buttons four and five
2. Enable workbench.editor.mouseBackForwardToNavigate
3. 🐛 You're unable to use buttons four and five to navigate between the open files

Yes, that is the issue

I can confirm this, with same Logitech Options software installed in Macos Big Sur 11.6.4. I can't navigate back and forward with the mouse, VSCode February 2022 (version 1.65). This version introduces new editor history navigation and I was curious about using mouse buttons.

This is unlikely to happen given prior discussions in #71318 where we found a generic solution that works in most cases actually. The previous solution was relying on Electron specific APIs that were not very stable and did not work across all OS.
