⌘→ does not work from new tab

Reported by ch...@cmbuckley.co.uk, Nov 27

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a new tab
2. Visit URL https://www.example.com
3. Press ⌘← to navigate back to new tab
4. Press ⌘→ to navigate forward again

What is the expected behavior?
Page should navigate forward to https://example.com

What went wrong?
Page does not navigate forward. The proper defined keyboard shortcuts ⌘[ and ⌘] do work correctly in this scenario.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 70.0.3538.102  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
Flash Version: 

I haven't tested if this is unique to Mac, or even if the Windows equivalent shortcuts work using arrow keys.

Thanks for filing the issue!

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 70.0.3538.102 and on the latest canary 72.0.3624.0 using Mac 10.14.1
As the issue is seen from M60(60.0.3112.0) considering it as Non-Regression and marking it as Untriaged. Tentatively adding component "UI>Input>KeyboardShortcuts", please change if this isn't apt.

This is not a bug; in the new tab page, keyboard focus is on the omnibox, which is a text field, and ⌘←/⌘→ have different meanings in text fields. This also happens in Safari - e.g., go to https://www.google.com, click on Privacy, and try hitting ⌘← then ⌘→. The proper bindings to go back/forward are ⌘[ and ⌘].

I'm tempted to simply remove ⌘←/⌘→ as navigation bindings, but Safari does have them, so... oh well.
Confirmed, for scenarios where the new tab page does not focus the omnibox, ⌘→ works as expected. Time to train myself to use the proper bindings!
