It looks like #libreoffice #impress does not react to the forward and back buttons on my mouse at all. Would be very handy to be able to use that as a presenter though. Is there any way I can set this up easily? (And maybe a bug report to make it happen by default?)

@libreoffice is that broken just for me or a missing feature in general?

Are you implying that, in general, the mouse forward and back buttons should work in impress? My first assumption was that it just isn't implemented anywhere. And I couldn't find any documentation about it either.

LibreOffice 25.8.2.2 580(Build:2) on Fedora Linux 43, Gnome/Wayland

Mouse: Logitech MX Anywhere 3 and MX Master 3S

Those forward and back buttons on the side of the mouse work for navigation in many apps, for example in Firefox, Thunderbird, Nautilus. When using impress it would make a lot of sense let them switch through slides in presentation and editing mode.

My previous experience with using the bugtracker was not that great, didn't get any helpful replies or acknowledgment of the issue - not sure it is worth my time to add another bug there to be honest 🤔
(I'm still grateful and appreciate the work put into libreoffice, don't get me wrong ❤️)

Alternatively, you could fund a developer to implement it: documentfoundation.org/certifi… 😊
