Troubleshooting K4 navigation problem in KOReader

Menuhin · 08-15-2026, 02:51 PM

Hi all,

I recently acquired a Kindle 4th gen - yes I love the physical buttons!
And thanks for KOReader - I can now read my PDFs and ePubs comfortably.

On and off in various scenarios, when I found these buttons seem to be insufficient, I could eventually see some solutions out there.

This time when I am in KOReader (latest version) using a RSS Reader Plugin (https://github.com/omer-faruq/rssreader.koplugin) and at its navigation page, I have problem navigating to the 'Back' button at the bottom. Just pressing the physical 'Back' or 'Escape' button (leftmost button in the diagram) will then just remove the whole RSS Plugin navigation interface and get me back to the previous file manager location.

Is it possible to reach there with K4? Or do I just need to know a specific shortcut combo?
