Re: Re: Breadcrumbs in Kickoff, IMPORTANT FIXUP

I'll top post this one:

OOPS! And PLEASE ignore my post, in Vol 45/Issue 46, where I talked
about this being requiring "just an easy change": This requires no
changes at all. It's already supported, and it even works back in
4.7.4. (Maybe earlier, but 4.7.4 is the earliest Release I have
"lying around" for test purposes.)

You only need to ignore the Doco Comment about acceptedButtons
taking only 3 values ;) Y can give it all 5, like this:

acceptedButtons: Qt.LeftButton | Qt.RightButton
 | Qt.MiddleButton |
Qt.XButton1 | Qt.XButton2 

and your MouseArea will start getting Press and Release events (plus
DoubleClick, plus Press and Hold) for 'BackButton' and
'ForwardButton'.
Here's my Test/Demo/Example program for you to try, and use as a
model (just run it using "qmlviewer"):
http://pastebin.kde.org/442676/ I set the expiration on that Paste
at 30 days. It will be an official example, but with 27 buttons, in
Qt5.

this is the finalized concept that will be implemented for
4.9.

I can confirm (or actually deny) that partly.
They did indeed want to do that, however it was then
  figured out that QML didn't get all the mouse events required
  for that. That should be fixed in Qt5 but not in Qt4. So i'm
  afraid the mouse back/forward button support isn't going to be
  in anytime soon.

 Why isn't that documented on the Qt site
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-mousearea.html#acceptedButtons-prop?
That really sucks!

Nice to know that it's possible :)
