Right Double Click Back

I've created a very small GreaseMonkey script that allows you navigate backwards in your browser quickly by right double clicking the page. That's it, that's all it does. But it's super handy, especially to an old Notes geek. Have fun.

So how does that work if you've got ICODEX's double right-click close thingy running as well? Which takes precedence?

I don't know, I'm not familiar with it. But I'd imagine one of two things will happen:

A. First it goes back, then the window closes.

B. The window closes.

Got a link to the thingy in question?

Er, why not use the thumb button on the mouse to go back? That is its default behavior on both MS and Logitech models for the last couple years.. the two thumb buttons are forward and back respectively. Use it all the time.

'Cause I don't have one of those mice! Actually, until very recently, I hadn't even seen that kind of mouse, but its on my wish list. Maybe I'll get one for fathers day.

Here's the link to Florian Vogler's blog (which is where I got it from, via Bill Buchan's site):

Every so often I catch myself right-double-clicking on a Web page to go back to what I was looking at before. Too much time in Notes I guess.

Great idea and thanks for sharing the great script!
