On Windows I use X-Mouse Button Control - this allows you to configure the mouse
actions on a program by program basis - including,  if you wish, applying
keyboard command sequences to the buttons (as an example I used this to make
give scroll horizontally using the tilt wheel)

You can also set the default mouse actions for any programs that you have not
specifically configured the program for - its a really useful piece of code.
