Use extra mouse buttons in configuration of keybindings

[Smurphy]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

a very nice way to switch desktops is to use the extra Mouse Buttons (e.g. Mouse button 4 to switch to the desktop on the left, and 5 to Switch over to the Desktop on the right). This is very handy as you don't have to take your hand off the mouse to switch to the next desktop.

The configuration interface only allows keyboard shortcuts. Why not allow Mouse Buttons to be taken ? at least all except button 1, 2 and 3.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
