Keyboard shortcuts to go back/forward between visited channels
In Slack, Alt+Left/Right behaves kind of like in the browser: go to the previously visited channel or go forward through that same stack to the last visited one.
It is one of those things that I always miss in Discord, as it's really convenient in Slack.

PROTIP: Ctrl + / shows keyboard combos that has switching between channels. 2 -
If you have a mouse with a mouse4 and mouse5 button, you can actually use those to switch to your last channel aswell, but I will admit having a browser-like keybind on the keyboard for this would be nice 1 -
This would be a very useful feature to have but isn't ctrl + k a lot like this? 0 -
Yes, yes. Just press ctrl + k and then enter

Haru: Mouse Back and Forward seems to work on Linux for me, but not on Windows for some odd reason. (Incidentally, Slack's mouse Back/Forward is also kinda buggy, so yay :D)
Spud, reaperlyzers: That's just a toggle and far from idiomatic I'm afraid.

Any update on this? It's ridiculously easy to implement and it's super useful. A great example of a quick win. All we need is a keybind to the already existing router.goback() and router.goForward()

I'd love this. I've just switched to the Windows desktop app, but the loss of forward/back is a huge penalty, probably enough to drive me back to the web client. My mouse has buttons 4 and 5 for "back" and "forward", and just being able to jump between my three most often visited channels with the mouse is really handy. It's a huge loss to not be able to do that in the desktop client.

Both Alt + Left and Alt + Right have been added as shortcuts for back and forward navigation.
