--- Comment #6 from Enda <[email protected]> ---
People who use Adobe Reader are used to using Alt+Left (or right clicking the
document and seeing a 'Back in the Document' button), these users will be
surprised when they discover that they must press Alt+Shift+Left instead (or
change the default). Whereas people who are used to Alt+Left doing something
will find that it does nothing.

If they are using Alt+Shift+Left, they don't need to bother about Alt+Left. It
doesn't matter if Alt+Left is useful or not.

Alt+Left is easier, so if faced with the choice (in the default setup) people
will use Alt+Left, this might create the situation where "people will become
used to" Alt+Left, which in another application might do something, I think
that this worry dwarfs the fact that it will be easier to use Alt+Left in
Okular (and then Alt+Shift+Left elsewhere).
