History Back keyboard shortcut

Reported by bdot...@gmail.com, Jul 26 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chrome
2. Navigate to one page
3. Hit backspace to go back

What is the expected behavior?
history::back() should be run. Or something similar.

What went wrong?
Got an alert to use alt+larrow in order to go back in history

Did this work before? Yes Before Chrome Autoupdated with this issue. 

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.82  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

My keyboard doesn't have arrows. I've used the backspace key to go back in history for the past 10 years and now I have to move my mouse to the top of the page to go back. That or open a context menu and go back. 

This cannot be replaced with using alt-codes either. It would be alt+alt+27. Considering that you can't hold alt down two times... I mean cmon. I KNOW I'm not the only one who uses the backspace keyboard shortcut.
