<alt + left> popup can look like <alt + backspace> due to arrow on backspace key

Reported by 13n...@gmail.com, Aug 30 2016

Issue description

What were you doing?
pressing backspace to navigate backwards, the page does not change but instead
a keyboard shortcut suggestion then appears below the search bar showing a backspace + alt to navigate back one page. I then pressed backspace+alt.

What happened?
the page did not change
What did you expect instead?
i expected the page to navigate back.
the actual shortcut after searching for it is alt + arrow key which is easily confused with alt + backspace as my keyboard and many others have a backwards arrow icon on the key.

If you have precise reproduction steps, please include them above. If you
have a screenshot demonstrating your feedback, please make sure it does not
include any confidential information and then attach it.
