      Hello everyone,

      I am using a mouse with additional buttons (shouldn't be surprising on a "gaming browser"), and I would like to be able to assign these as keyboard shortcuts.

      For example, instead of using Ctrl+PgUp | Ctrl+PgDn for going to the next/previous tab, I would like to assign Mouse 4 | Mouse 5 for this function.

      A simple "solution" is to assign Ctrl+PgUp | Ctrl+PgDn as macros for those buttons, but that would mean that I cannot use Mouse 4 | Mouse 5 functionality on other applications, games etc., so this is not really satisfactory.

      Is there any way to do that? As far as I can see, the settings do not accept mouse buttons as valid input (nothing happens when I try to assign them), and I could not find a JSON file to manually add shortcuts (for example, similar to how VSCode gives such an option).

      Thanks in advance!
