    I really wasn't being sneaky. :eek: I just clarified exactly what I had said. Our disconnect came when the discussion, before you jumped in, was in part referring to alternate ways to move back/forward in browser windows and someone suggested using backspace/shift-backspace respectively. When you then posted about FN+arrows, without indicating you were referring to a different navigation objective, I tried it, found it didn't substitute for three finger swipe or backspace, but in experimenting found that Alt + arrow did also move any browser back/forward so I just assumed that it was what you meant. Also, I have a Z1, which has no Fn key on the right, but does have an Alt key on both right and left.

    I know, too much info about too small a misunderstanding. But I don't like sneaky, and I value my rep here, so I did want to clarify.

    No harm, no foul. Peace Skyshade!

    My Z1 touchpad config:

    -Latest Synaptic driver from their website, minus Scrybe.
    -Modded version of TwoFingerScroll 1.0.6 that has the cursor re-position problem disabled and with inverse scrolling (ala OS X Lion's "natural scrolling") because I want to have consistent natural scrolling on all my laptops, including MacBook.
    -Registry hack for Chrome to enable 3-finger back/forward gestures to work.

    I used to have TwoFingerScroll configured to right click for "One+One finger" and Middle click for "Two finger" taps, but I changed it to what you see above after getting a MacBook in order to have them behave more consistently. I wish I could change the MacBook's touchpad to this setup, but you can't do it without hacking.
