Alternative controls?

I like to go back and forth looking at many screens quickly. Is it possible to use the buttons on my mouse that I use in my browser to go back and forth to different screens? I want to be lazier. All this moving the mouse around to click back and forth is way to much like work!

On some types of screens you can go back by right-clicking (or, in the case of lefties like me, left-clicking), so you can experiment to see where that works. That's pretty much it, however, unless you have a mouse with multiple buttons that you can program to do function keys. That would give you a few more options.

Hitting the "Backspace" key takes you back to the previous screen.
