Description

Adds web-browser-style Back / Forward navigation to Anki's Browser (card manager). Every search you run is recorded per window, so you can step back to what you were looking at before — perfect when you jump around via saved searches, the sidebar, or deck links.

Navigation

← / → buttons next to the search box
Keyboard: Alt+Left / Alt+Right (also Ctrl+[ / Ctrl+])
Mouse side buttons (Back / Forward)
Menu entry (default title "Verlauf")

Behaviour

Records every executed search (typing, saved searches, sidebar clicks, programmatic jumps)
Like a web browser: going back and then searching drops the forward history
History is per Browser window
Pure UI — never modifies your notes or collection

Configuration (Tools → Add-ons → Config)

show_buttons, show_menu, enable_mouse_buttons
shortcuts_back / shortcuts_forward (string or list)
menu_title, label_back, label_forward (e.g. set to "Back" / "Forward")

Works independently of any other add-on. Developed for modern Anki (Qt6).
