Sublime text bind mouse buttons to jump to cursor

Question

I want to bind my forward and back mouse buttons (4, 5) to jump between previous cursor positions. I have my file

~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/Default (Linux).sublime-mousemap

My code is as such

[
  {
    "button": "button4",
    "command": "jump_back"
  },
  {
    "button": "button5",
    "command": "jump_forward"
  }
]

I have also tried

{
  "button": "button5",
  "modifiers" : [],
  "command": "jump_forward"
}

And even

{
  "button": "button5",
  "modifiers" : ["alt"],
  "command": "jump_forward"
}

But the default next / prev tab set-up is always used. Using the sublime default key bindings works however

"alt" + "-"
"shift" + "alt" + "-"

Answer 1

Make sure you add these settings to a MOUSEMAP and not a KEYMAP.

If you open the folder of your key preferences and add create a file like this:

Default (Windows).sublime-mousemap

[
    {
        "button": "button4",
        "command": "jump_back"
    },
    {
        "button": "button5",
        "command": "jump_forward"
    }
]

Just make sure the filename conforms to whatever your keymap filename (e.g. replace WINDOWS with UNIX if that's how your keymap is named).

Answer 2

For Linux:

Default (Linux).sublime-mousemap

{ "button": "button8", "command": "jump_back" },
{ "button": "button9", "command": "jump_forward" }

Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap

{ "button": "button4", "command": "jump_back" },
{ "button": "button5", "command": "jump_forward" }
