Hi. First of all, thank you for such a great experience which is KDE.

Now, I have a mouse with back/forward buttons. They work with no configuration in Firefox, also this worked in Nautilus gnome file manager (out of the box), but this is not true for Dolphin and Konquerror. Is there any possibility to make this work?
Thank you for your time.

The problem is in the Qt libraries, so in the stack underlying KDE. Unfortunately it looks like only Qt5 will fix this issue (support is already there) when it wil be released.

Here's a workaround for the time being: http://hanschen.org/2009/10/13/mouse-sh ... xbindkeys/
Make sure you have xbindkeys and xte (usually in a package called xautomation) installed, and put something like this in your .xbindkeysrc:

Code: Select all

# Back
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Left' 'keyup Alt_L'"
  b:6

# Forward
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Right' 'keyup Alt_L'"
  b:7

Finally, run xbindkeys from e.g. Alt+F2. You can also add it to autostart in System Settings.

Thank you for your answers.

Also, Hans, using your answer I was able to make it work, I just have had to discover in xev which buttons should be used.

This seems like small thing, but actually made me very happy
