vk_browser_back / forward support
Posted: 02 Aug 2019 10:04
I've been re-evaluating XYplorer again (I've evaluated it a few times over the last ... 15 years. Oh my, doesn't time fly when you're having fun).
Anyway, I'm liking it much more this time (64bit integration is not perfect but good enough I think), but there's one minor hiccup:
The back and forward button on my mouse and keyboard do not work with XYplorer. They work with Windows 10 File Explorer, with Firefox, Chrome and pretty much everything else (including the competitor to XYplorer that I currently use). As I understand it these keys are configured to issue VK_BROWSER_BACK and VK_BROWSER_FORWARD (see here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... -key-codes ).
I see in this forum that others have used AutoHotKey or manufacturer configuration facilities to force their mouse to issue Alt+Left or Alt+Right, but I'd rather not do that since I cannot predict which applications I have that might do something unexpected. The VK_BROWSER_* codes are there for a reason, and XYplorer doesn't seem to do anything else with them so it might as well do what is expected ... yes?
