Forward and Back Navigation Buttons/Shortcuts

Hello,

Just wondering if the idea has ever been raised to add forward/back buttons or shortcuts in RDM? For example, in the quick access toolbar perhaps (near quick connect/refresh button/etc.). And/or make a shortcut, like Alt+LeftArrow/Alt+RightArrow does in many other apps (like browsers for example, or File Explorer).

I think this could be very helpful when working between a bunch of tabs/sessions - I know we have tab groups and other ways to manage them, which are all great. But just a simple forward and back function I think would be useful, at least for my workflow. Not sure if others might find this useful as well but I figured I'd float the idea at least.

Best regards,

David Willis

Hello David,

On 2026.2, there should be a back/forward button available at the top of the application (and the same buttons in the View part of the ribbon):

If you go in File>Settings, these buttons can be assigned shortcuts as well:

Can you try these buttons out and see if they answer your needs?

Regards,
