Hello Mirek,

This is the perfect addition to people that has moues with additional buttons (backward & forward). Thanks for implementing this? I am wonder if the mac implementation will respect back gesture on touchpad - would be great! For you that doesn't know how the moues with this specific buttons looks like here is the link to google graphics.

I think the support for the controls you have mentioned are sufficient. The only thing I would change is to add buttons for backward and forward in file sel implementation. Limiting this functionality only to mouse owners is not optimal!

I also found some bugs in the current backward forward implementation inside CodeEditor and Help in TheIDE. It just adds additional entries for some reason in certain situation or opening .tpp file is not registered etc. It is issue not related to this change.

I think we should also add somwhere in documentation K_MOUSE_FORWARD and K_MOUSE_BACKWARD documentation. Do we have documentation for keys? In the enum below some entries are obvious, but some might need clarification (K_DELTA):

enum {
	K_DELTA        = 0x010000,

	K_ALT          = 0x080000,
	K_SHIFT        = 0x040000,
	K_CTRL         = 0x020000,

	K_KEYUP        = 0x100000,

	K_MOUSEMIDDLE  = 0x200000,
	K_MOUSERIGHT   = 0x400000,
	K_MOUSELEFT    = 0x800000,
	K_MOUSEDOUBLE  = 0x1000000,
	K_MOUSETRIPLE  = 0x2000000,

	K_SHIFT_CTRL = K_SHIFT|K_CTRL,

#ifdef PLATFORM_COCOA // NOT Sure this should be under ifdef - this is just definition...
	K_OPTION       = 0x4000000,
#endif

	IK_DBL_CLICK   = 0x40000001, // this is just to get the info that the entry is equal to dbl-click to the menu
	
	K_MOUSE_FORWARD = 0x80000001,
	K_MOUSE_BACKWARD = 0x80000002,
};
