adding a back button #77

Having a way to have a back button even hidden somewhere would be nice for some services.

I found this issue while looking for a way to do so in the application. Back and forward navigation from history is definitely be a must-have !

For many services, such as youtube, and without the usual browser buttons on which they rely, it is not so easy to navigate back and forth between videos without having to launch a new search or go into their own logged-in history section when there is one, which is far from handy. (I would also suggest to add a reload page shortcut.)

I would rather see an option in the menu + keyboard shortcut than buttons that would clog up the interface, though.

Going quickly through docs, I guess there might be a way to mingle in electron's files for shortcuts, but if you have an easy workaround at hand, I'll take it.

Thanks !

This is a nice addition but would not work if you use a touchscreen as input. This is why I suggested adding a back button or gesture somewhere to keep Electronplayer work with touch only input.
