This doesn't refer to mouse buttons. It refers to the toolbar. Prior
to 4.9, users could return to previous directory locations in Dolphin
with a back button. But there was no forward button, so they could not
retrace their steps after using the back button.

Silly is your interpretation...a forward button was a common request.
These buttons have little to do with how powerful Dolphin is as a file
manager. This is icing on the cake that provides what many people
wanted.

Perhaps this could have been worded better. Please let us know if you
would like to assist with reviewing content before it's published.

Yes as applied to Dolphin and Konsole. It's not clear what you intend
by "etc." In your view, how is this an issue?
