Gitako blocks forward & backwards actions of Logitech mouse

See original GitHub issue

I have a very strange issue for a long time now. For some reason, suddenly my forwards & backwards buttons in my mouse stopped work. Today I realized that gitako extension is the reason why.

before gitako render its DOM element, the buttons work fine. image after the render complete, it blocks the events of forward & backwards. In addition, I tried to disable the extension and it worked too.

Can you identify the issue? I really like this extension but it makes me crazy that I must click chrome’s UI buttons to make a trigger for forward/backwards action.

Interesting technical insights of the tool!

so no keypress event

If so, my assumption on the keypress event capturing should be wrong.

I’ll make more investigation with the tool. Thank you very much! 😃

So i think i found a lead here. https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/ (look at Technical Notes section)

Very interesting implementation of Logitech Back & Forward. Looks like it just fake mac swipe gestures - so no keypress event. so you can probably debug with it if you don’t have MX Master.
