# Mouse App Shortcuts

The two side buttons change meaning with the focused app. Everywhere else they stay ordinary side buttons.

| Focused app | Mouse4 | Mouse5 |
|---|---|---|
| Browser | Back | Forward |
| Editor | Undo | Redo |
| Spreadsheet | Previous sheet | Next sheet |

## Setup

Each class is a comma separated list of process names. A window matches when its process name contains one of the entries, case insensitive. On Windows that is the executable name (`chrome.exe` matches `chrome`); on macOS it is the application name (`Google Chrome` matches `chrome`). Edit the lists any time; changes apply on the next click.

Turn on **Swap the two side buttons** if your mouse reports them the other way round.

## Chords sent

- Windows: Alt+Left and Alt+Right, Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y, Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown.
- macOS: Cmd+[ and Cmd+], Cmd+Z and Cmd+Shift+Z, Option+Left and Option+Right.

## Limits

- Both side buttons are captured system wide while the script runs. In unlisted apps the press is passed straight through, but it does pass through the Rebind Engine first.
- Apps that bind the side buttons themselves will see the chord instead of the button.
