#595 Navigation through folder history (back/forward)

[Anonymous]

It would be great if the folders I've already been to could be navigated by using either the back/forward buttons on my IntelliMouse, or at least using the Alt+LeftArrow and Alt+RightArrow key combination. Just as I can do in Windows explorer or a web browser.

I'd like to sign up under this request. It seems the only feature that I miss - the ability to go backword and forward in history with buttons or mouse - like in most of file managers.

@ipavlov, this issue from 2006 has 4 clones:
https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/feature-requests/651/ - 2007
https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/feature-requests/986/ - 2012
https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/feature-requests/1481/ - 2022

Aside from the 4 creators, 11 other people (unique) have commented on these tickets (including me).

In this thread there are reports of people abandonning (and trying to abandon) 7-zip, just because it lacks the feature: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/fccff241/

I myself have considered it multiple times, and it's not the first time I come here to see if this missed feature has been implemented or had any progress.

Maybe you want to link all these tickets, close the clones, and implement it. According to this comment here, it shouldn't be hard to implement it: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/feature-requests/1481/#f354

The GUI just needs to handle WM_APPCOMMAND : APPCOMMAND_BROWSER_BACKWARD and APPCOMMAND_BROWSER_FORWARD.

Please consider adding this feature.
