@yupi2 commented on GitHub (May 28, 2018):

I got forward&back buttons working along with horizontal scroll some time ago. Works on X11 & Win32 but I never tested on OSX.
main patch:

b2a0ab2f58
b2a0ab2f58.patch

later patch to suppress warning:

4541a799e0 (diff-a32b85f634235bfc6c47ee4b259d4175R700)

If/when someone applies the patch remember to include my author information for git.

What's the most effective way to get this patch integrated? I'd really like to use my back and forward buttons without maintaining an entire copy of this. 👍

Hi, here's a patch with yupi2's changes modified to apply correctly to barrier.

5111f402d0

Back/forward buttons and horizontal scroll work but there's some instability. I'm not sure if that's from the patch or the master branch is unstable itself as I only applied to head and not any stable releases.
Tested only linux server and win10 client so far.

I've now confirmed that the instability is not present with the patch applied to 2.1.2.
I might find time to set up a macos instance to test but no promises there.

Would you consider merging the patch as is or do you need any changes? Also I'm not sure where would be the best place to mention it's yupi2's contribution so any feedback welcome there.

Would just need to create a PR. I could do it and then we could review the code.
