Hi Anthony. In theory it's consistent change but please reconsider these
default.
I bought that 11 button cm storm  mouse. Such gaming mices when used
outside of games have habit to accidentally trigger back/forward buttons
when you are not extra careful with your touch.
X11 just have the keys mapped by default. This made Firefox unusable to me
unless I remap the keys at system level.
I'd imagine that most users will not know how to do it and frustration
would come back to us. And very few users need/want to go back from
keyboard to mouse in order to switch between documents.
Those that want that can easily find the option.
IMHO.
We have excellent shortcut config dialogs.
