Hi folks. Can't find this on the site, but what I'd like StrokesPlus to do is allow back and forward navigation both in my browser and Explorer (though I actually use DOpus). Is this implemented anywhere? Thanks.

I'm not familiar DOpus and its keyboard equivalents, but for Chrome and Windows Explorer, the following scripts work:

acSendKeys("%{LEFT}") --Back

acSendKeys("%{RIGHT}") --Forward

They just send ALT+LEFT or ALT+RIGHT.

These also seems to work fine in either as well:

acSendKeys("{BROWSERBACK}") --Back
acSendKeys("{BROWSERFORWARD}") --Forward

Strokesplus util is real nice, I came from strokeit.

Found some issues with
acSendKeys("{BROWSERBACK}") --Back
acSendKeys("{BROWSERFORWARD}") --Forward

These will interfere with mpc-hc media player. If I have mpc-hc playing a movie on the bottom right corner while surfing the web and try to do a swipe left with my mouse, the player *also* receives this action and causes it to pause.

I have the swipe left action mapping to back 10 secs and swipe right to go forward for 10 secs.

For now, I had to use acSendKeys("%{LEFT}") and acSendKeys("%{RIGHT}") in the Global section in order to have no interference.

Hope it's clear enough.

Thanks

MPC registers media keys as hotkeys with Windows, so it will receive them unless you disable the option shown below.

I see about the media keys for mpc-hc. So maybe that mpc-hc is consuming all media keys such as browser-back when it shouldn't have - it doesn't know what to do with it.

Thanks Rob for clarifying that.
