Problem Statement

Markdown docs commonly link to other docs, and if you click on a link, there is no way to go back to the previous file without opening the file browser and finding the file you had open again.

Proposed Solution

Add back and forward buttons to the file viewer, and have the back and forward mouse buttons bound to them, so that you can navigate linked markdown files just as you would in a web browser or a file explorer.
