@bpasero I have uninstalled “Logi Options” and it started working. I can see the alerts now. It seems that Logi Options makes the buttons turn into swipe events. I haven’t found a way to disable this.

I kind of need “Logi Options” for other things, I’m using Logitech Flow for cross-computer usage between Windows and MacOS.

Since it works in Chrome, and lots of other apps via the simulated swipe event, perhaps #79078 should be reconsidered.

The problem still exists.

I was able to find a workaround.

InLogi Options (top-right) you can create a new profile just for Visual Studio Code and map:

Forward to CTRL+SHIFT+- Back to CTRL+-

@andrecasal yeah the browser navigation makes this hard to test, can you only test pressing the button that would normally “Forward” so that you dont leave the page and can still test this.
