How to go back twice or many times with Next/Router

[yyhan0915]

As I checked in github source code, unlike react-router,
next-router does not have multiple times of go back on Router.go() function.

But in some cases, such as routing back to previous page from error, it is needed to make code of multi times of go back.
So my idea is for doing it,

Router.go(times : number) => window.window.history.go(times);

How about my idea? Is there some feature I described above in NextJs?

window.history.go(delta) for example window.history.go(-3) goes back 3 times which is good

window is used and wont give any error because you go back or forward in useEffect or Event callBacks.

Is there any chance it will be implemented ? It is useless to be able to go back only for 1 step.

facing an issue in trying to create an error page and go back more than 1 step by using router.back(), if you go only 1 back it makes an infinite loop between an error page and a 404 page.
Sadly had to use @shaianest 's solution for now.

any plans to integrate this anytime soon?

I think this is work.

// window.history.go(-2)

router.back()
router.back()

I've noticed a difference in behavior on iOS, where calling history.back() multiple times does not go back multiple times, whereas router.go(-n) does

Any update?
packages/next/src/shared/lib/router/router.ts
like, just modify the back function?
back(n = 1) { window.history.go(n) }

just do it with javaScript, i could not find any way in next.js.

onClick={() => window.history.go(-1)}

The nextjs navigation via router is shallow, but window.history.go() is not, thus there will be a refresh of the page.
