Go back with backspace doesn't recognize shift+backspace key combination

Reported by per...@gmail.com, Aug 19 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.8 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chrome
2. Start new session as guest
3. Surf to page 1, then page 2 in the same tab
4. Press the back button in the browser
4. Press Shift+backspace while focus is in web page.

What is the expected behavior?
Navigates forward in the browser history by 1 page/history entry.

What went wrong?
The browser does nothing

Did this work before? Yes Version 50.0.2661.94 m (64-bit)

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.8  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.5
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

Most likely caused by, https://codereview.chromium.org/1854963002 and is related to but not the same as https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=608016
Currently there is no workaround to bring back this key combination

I just updated the "Go Back With Backspace" browser extension (to version 1.4) and it looks like this issue is worse.  When pressing shift+backspace it navigates backwards in the history instead of forward or nothing.  This is completely different from how pressing tab and sift+tab or space and shift+space work on the page.
