1. Right-click on any toolbar and select "Customize toolbar..." option. 2. The "Customize" window pops up. Select the "keyboard" tab. 3. In the bottom section, select "Navigate" category. 4. Look for the "Forward" and "Back" functions. They are missing. As a result, you cannot assign a keyboard shortcut (hotkey) to these functions. This is a major productivity loss: When you CTRL+click on a link (e.g. from TOC to a heading, or from a hyperlink to a bookmark), you cannot quickly come back by pressing a hotkey (say, ALT+LeftArrow, as in a pdf reader). You have to click on the "green arrow" button in the Navigate" toolbar. Solution: Provide the "Forward" and "Back" functions in the "Navigate" category.
I have just looked for unconfimed bugs. So I found this. I searched through the categories. I couldn't find "Forward" and "Back" in the "Naviagte"-category. Then had a look in the other categories - "Back" must be at the top, so I only clicked through them. I found "Back" and "Forward" in the Category "Internal". Why it is there I couldn't say. But you can chose a shortcut key for it. I will close this bug as "Resolved" and "Worksforme". If you would say it isn't the right category - I couldn't say, what developers had thought by this category. But then it is better to write a new bug-description for the category.
Since there is a "Navigate" category, the logical place to look for the "Forward" and "Back" functions is purely in this category. If they are provided in the different category, that's wrong design. A category name like "Internal" is meaningless, so people would not look there at all. (How can any application have an "internal" controls???)
Never confirmed by QA team - moving to UNCONFIRMED to get confirmation.
Well, let's change the title and set as a NEW enhancement.
This navigation is what the controls on the Navigation toolbar (Writer only, but applicable to other modules) are intended to provide, see bug 32869 and bug 115817 Not clear they can be made generic--or must be bound to a specific toolbar, dialog.
In the meantime it was fixed by https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=66e8f52d10eb6ff779d177e61899e83f6a3b5a60
