5 button mouse in konqueror
 

Ok i have a microsoft mouse with the side buttons. Having looked at this:-

I have my mouse working by adding this line to my xorg.conf file:-

Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"

Firefox see's them as they go back and forward in web pages and in games etc i can use them.

But konqueror doesn't use the extra buttons. I'd like konqueror to go back and fourth the way the side buttons do in mozilla.

I'm sure its somthing simple but i can't seem to find anything that might help in kcontrol or the options in konqueror. Please help! :)

Try installing the xbindkeys package if available then put this in your home directory in the file .xbindkeysrc.

You may have to switch the b:? depending on how the keys get detected then for my mouse I put the xbindkeys on a line by itself in my .bashrc to have it started everytime I log into KDE.

Edit: Typo

Ok i have installed xbindkeys and ran it from the command line. But i don't see this .xbindkeysrc file anywhere in my home directory?

I should have been more specific you create the file (vi ~/.xbindkeysrc or use your favorite editor) then put the lines in it.
