I will never own a 3 button mouse again. I've had a 5 button mouse for years now.
Is there currently a way to use the 4&5 mouse buttons for the forward and back functions they are used for?
If not, I would really love to see the ability to use them added.

sorry for bump..

Re: Forward + Back Mouse Buttons
Multibutton mice normally come with software for programming the extra buttons. Just use that -- why burden an application like UltraVNC with that kind of unique (and varying per manufacturer/model) kind of thing?
