A US keyboard has an "Alt" key on both sides of the space bar, no "Alt
Gr" key. That's probably why it's very easy for me to hit Alt + Left
Arrow with one hand (do it with either my thumb or index finger and
pinky quite easily). Perhaps it would be possible for Mozilla to use
Alt or Alt Gr + left arrow for back, I don't know though
