Key + Mousebinds for "Navigate back" and "Navigate forward"

[ModProg]

I suggest mapping Mouse4 and Mouse5 as well as “Alt+Left” and “Alt+Right” to “Navigate back” and “Navigate forward” respectively. It might make sense to have “Alt+Up” be “Go to parent directory”.

The suggestion for the default bindings come from web browsers and other file managers using them like this (Firefox and Dolphin at least)

Accessibility is in the plans, and this will be included along with gestures. We can already use alt (cmd on Mac) and arrrow keys to switfch between selected files.

I'd expect just arrow keys to switch selected files, and alt + arrow keys for navigation history.

Well full accessibility will come later, we are in very early alpha and things aren't 100% just yet. We may reesrve arrow keys for other functions, that's undecided, but navigation will be a breeze once things are sorted.

Good idea, I see myself trying to use those shortcuts a lot as well. Consider them done!

P.S. Arrow keys work just as you mentioned for selected files.

I don't know if I should open a new Discussion but this is quite similar.

On Mac using Command+Up: "Going to the parent Directory" and Command+Down: "Go into the current selected Directory" I think those should be also added, just don't know if I should open a new Discussion for that

[ModProg]

makes sense, probably best to keep consistency with what the platform otherwise uses, what is the keybind to navigate back in mac?

Command–Left Bracket ([): Go to the previous folder.
Command–Right Bracket (]): Go to the next folder.
Command–Up Arrow: Open the folder that contains the current folder.
Command–Down Arrow: Open the selected item.

Sadly on a German Keyboard triggering the prev / next folder - is nearly impossible (due to how Left / Right Bracket need to be triggered xD) --- so that I might have to use the Keybind Feature to switch it - will there be Keybind Profiles / Templates then these could be shared in the community for a "improved german mac keyboard layout" or something :D

I think Alt will map to Command on macOS but noted this as well!

I think it makes sense to match what chrome does and support both key binds, i.e., Command+Left and Command+[ (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?hl=en) Safari has apparently layout dependent key binds for navigating history i.e., Command+ü and Command+ß.
