Closing gallery with back button on mobile devices

    First of all, great work on making such a quality Wordpress gallery. It truly looks and functions great on every device I've tested it with.

    The only issue I have with it, is if you are viewing a gallery a mobile device (I've only tested with Android, I'm not sure how it is on an Apple, but I'm guessing something similar), and hit the phone/tablet's back button, instead of simply closing the gallery it acts as if you clicked the back button on the mobile browser, and takes you to the previous page you were on. This is very disorientating!

    I know the gallery has a close button in the top right corner which works fine, but it's reasonable to assume that some users might try and close the gallery with the device's back button (I know I did it myself!), and having the whole website navigate back a page instead of simply closing the image you are currently viewing takes away from the otherwise highly professional feel of the gallery (and not to mention reflecting badly on my own site!)

    Is there an option in the settings where I can choose the functionality of the device back button, or if not, are you able to add this capability in please? I'm sure I'm not the only person who would appreciate this!

    Kind regards,

    Matt

    Hi Max, that's a shame to hear, but thanks for at least looking into it. If you ever do come across a solution please implement it and let me know! If I find some js that can do this I'll let you know too.

    Cheers
