Browser back/forward jumps by 2 items in history in Vivaldi

I've encountered a peculiar problem in Vivaldi browser and I'm not sure if the bug exists in S+ or in Vivaldi. I have history back and forward gestures defined as Code: sp.SendVKey(vk.BROWSER_BACK);
and Code:sp.SendVKey(vk.BROWSER_FORWARD);
respectively. For some strange reason Vivaldi moves by two history items except one, always skipping one page in history. I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera and everywhere this seems to work correctly except Vivaldi. Of course, I've turned off native mouse gestures in Vivaldi. I've come up with a workaround to use ALT+LEFT/RIGHT keystrokes instead and then Vivaldi behaves good - like I wonder what kind of key is pressed by vk.BROWSER_BACK and vk.BROWSER_FORWARD? I first thought they would be equivalent to back and forward buttons that some mice have. But I have a mouse with such buttons and using them in Vivaldi works correctly so it must be something different. I first used vk.BROWSER_XXX keystrokes because they were the default ones set in S+ (if I remember well) but they seem not to be working universally.

Thanks, I think you are right. It didn't occur to me to search Vivaldi forums...
I had my mouse navigation buttons set to "4th button" and "5th button" - whatever that means - they seem to navigate back and forward and work correctly in Vivaldi. But when I tried changing them to "Internet back/forward" then the problem started happening - they must be the equivalent of vk.BROWSER_BACK/FORWARD. Everything is clear now.

Yeah 4th and 5th button are considered the X1 and X2 mouse buttons respectively, which are different than browser back/forward You can see a big list of all the virtual key codes here, if you care at all :) http://nehe.gamedev.net/..._virtualkey_codes/15009/

Are you still using that setup ? Thanks

I think those jumps you are talking about might be because of the vivaldi's fast forward and backward option (called rewind history iirc), a variant of normal navigation which moves between website domains instead of individual pages. So all URLs of same website such as youtube.com are skipped with you press back. Edited by user Thursday, October 7, 2021 9:46:23 PM(UTC)
