# WebKit BackForwardList

unstable since: 6.0

#### Description [src]

    final class WebKit.BackForwardList : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

List of visited pages.

WebKitBackForwardList maintains a list of visited pages used to navigate to recent pages. Items are inserted in the list in the order they are visited.

WebKitBackForwardList also maintains the notion of the current item (which is always at index 0), the preceding item (which is at index -1), and the following item (which is at index 1). Methods `webkit_web_view_go_back()` and `webkit_web_view_go_forward()` move the current item backward or forward by one. Method `webkit_web_view_go_to_back_forward_list_item()` sets the current item to the specified item. All other methods returning `WebKitBackForwardListItem`s do not change the value of the current item, they just return the requested item or items.
