how to trigger design history back/forward buttons with hotkey or special mouse button

[lee.krasnow]

I'd love to set up my space mouse or something similar to step the design history timeline marker back/forward by one step.  Does anybody have any idea how this might be possible to accomplish?  I was imagining setting up a hot-key in fusion and then having the mouse driver send that hotkey combo, but it does not seem so simple.  I am wondering if writing a simple script instead and having that script access fusion API might be the answer, but I've never tried scripting fusion before so I don't have much basis to know what is possible / easiest.  

Does anyone else have thoughts to share on this matter?  Thanks.

Well I did end up getting it to work by making a python add-in which I've attached here in case anyone else finds it useful.  Once it runs once (and set to run at startup) it shows up in the script & add-in menu so I was able to then set  hot-key combo for it and then have my space mouse send those hotkey combos when I click the side buttons.  It works flawlessly so far.
