Use mouse "back" button to go back or up a level

Little nit, but would be nice. My mouse has the forward/back buttons on the side by my thumb. They do just what you would expect in a web browser, Windows Explorer and various apps. I find myself clicking the back button all the time out of habit, expecting it to do the same thing as if I clicked on whatever is in the upper left corner on a screen - Back or Songs or Synthesia or whatever - basically meaning previous screen.

In developer-ese, it's just checking e.Button for VK_XBUTTON1 (I think; it might be 2) on a mouse down or at least it is in C#. Something similar in a WndProc message,

Settings --> Shortcuts --> Menu Back --> + --> [press your mouse button] --> Save.
Menu Continue --> + --> [press your other mouse button] --> Save.

That was quick! Works great! Well, except that if I get click happy and click one extra time it exits the application.
