I also think this is not the solution but supporting more hardware buttons is
part of another limitation.
Let's imagine a user who has a mouse with "forward-backward" buttons on it and
a keyboard also with forward an backward buttons. Neither of them work.
Many other apps (browsers and e.g. the ubuntu software center) don't need
special configuration for these keys, they just work. It would be also not
appropriate to have to configure this, since the buttons have a strict meaning
on them.
The best thing would be just support all "special" buttons side-by-side to what
you configured. I guess the scancodes are standardised.
I don't want to be rude but I guess neither of the devs has a mouse or keyboard
with "forward-back" buttons. Expecially for web browsing this is very very
handy. And work for years...with windows...with gnome...with most
webbrowsers...sadly not in kde apps :(
