[Feature Request] Use extra mouse buttons for back and forward navigation.
Description It would be nice to have a feature which detects "mouse4" and "mouse5" button events for "back" and "forward" navigation inside the app. This would result in faster navigation and less mouse movement.

This got merged upstream: leaflet: Support back/forward mouse buttons, so we can have mouse button navigation for free now.
Something wrong with https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/property.Leaflet.can-navigate-back.html maybe, not sure we've enabled it
Or at least it would be, but leaflet swiping seems broken currently:
This is with can-navigate-back:true.
Oh of course nevermind, we can't do that! going back has to operate on the stack switcher not the leaflet
I was pondering how to make swipes work, and was instructed that we'd need two nested leaflets - one with sidebar and "library" as children, and the other with the details screen as a child and can-unfold=false.
Trying to make the swipes work, but it would seem it would seem that would require to rework quite a bit of navigation routine, which goes a bit over my head
