macOS mostly ignores the M4/M5 mouse buttons, commonly used for navigation. Third-party apps can bind them to ⌘+[ and ⌘+], but this only works in a small number of apps and feels janky. With this tool, your side buttons will simulate 3-finger swipes, allowing you to navigate almost any window with a history. As seen in the Logitech MX Master!

Extensive information on this tweak can be found here: http://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net

To ensure SensibleSideButtons opens whenever you start your computer:

  • Go to System Preferences
  • Click Users & Groups
  • Click your username in the left panel
  • Click Login Items at the top
  • Click the plus button at the bottom
  • Go to wherever you put the app (probably your Applications folder) and double-click it
