Eclipse Back/Forward navigation using mouse buttons

Post by Gregory66 »

There is an addin for Visual Studio called MouseNavi that allows you to use mouse thumb buttons to navigate your history.

Does a similar extension exist for Eclipse?

Don't know about plugins for eclipse (I tend to use visual studio most of the time) but can you navigate the history using the keyboard (I do know Eclipse's keyboard shortcuts are pretty extensive and configurable)? If you can, then you can probably setup XMBC to send such keystrokes using simulated keystrokes.

The user interface is navigable using the keyboard. The Tab key is used to iterate through the controls in a window (for example, a dialog, or the current perspective's views and editors and the main controls for the Workbench window).

I too feel that there should be an extension for it.
