Browsers and apps in general will support the keyboard shortcut, Alt + Left Arrow, for returning the user to the previous page.
I have a dedicated mouse button for this, I believe it just emulates that keyboard combination. Currently, App Center does not do anything when I try Alt + Left Arrow or use my mouse's back button. This is a shortcut that was supported on the old software app.
Feature request - support the Alt + Left Arrow keyboard shortcut for backwards navigation.
Current Behavior
Navigate to an app page.
Press Alt + Left Arrow
Nothing happens.
Desired Behavior
Navigate to an app page.
Press Alt + Left Arrow
The view should bring you back to the previous page you were looking at.
Shortcuts
Alt + Left Arrow would be the most popular I think.
Alt + Right Arrow could be added for forward navigation, but I would expect this shortcut to be used a lot less.
