Mapping back button to 'next page' function in reader

[jonnyl]

Is it possible to assign 'next page' to the back button within the reader? (It's not in the options menu but perhaps editing a settings file could do the trick.)

Many Android-based e-readers have the back button as the only physical key besides the power button (e.g., Tolino Epos, Onyx devices), so using it to flip pages while reading could be a welcome feature for some users.

If it is currently not possible, is this something that could be added in a future release? As KOReader already allows some user-defined functions to the back button, adding the option 'next page' would probably be a small change.

Thank you

Hope this helps.

Thank you, I'll look into this!

To anyone reading this who would like to solve the same issue:

On my Tolino Epos, the front button had the identifier [4]. Accordingly, I created a new event_map.lua file within the /koreader/settings/ directory with the following contents:

return {
[4] = "RPgFwd"
}
