Mouse Button Assignment - Chapter Skip Functionality #115
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
As it stands, VLC does not support the ability to assign functionality to side mouse buttons (Mouse 4 / Mouse 5). This plugin (Which works fantastically) is the closest I could find. The problem is that there is other functionality (Specifically Chapter Forwards / Chapter Backwards in my case) which works really well with mouse-button assignments - Specifically those on the side buttons.
Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to use the buttons on the side of a mouse (Buttons 4 / 5) to Skip Forwards / Backwards (Select prev DVD chapter / Select next DVD chapter in VLC). This functionality could be added to the "Mouse button assignment" list.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered global mouse re-assignments to send the specific shortcut keys (Shift+p / Shift+n), however, this starts to become problematic as it interferes with non-VLC functionality.
Additional context
I know that this is not really related to pause-click functionality, but it's the closest thing I could find, and the extension works really well (And it's super weird that VLC doesn't allow you to bind these mouse buttons to shortcuts natively...)
