On my machine OSX 10.7.5 with SL-vers of R 3.2.1, R.app GUI 1.66 (6956), the
cmd-right-arrow and the cmd left arrow give forward and back behavior in the
help page display. I see little value in assigning this also or instead of the
current behavior. I discovered this by trial and error so it might be worth
documenting in the OSX-FAQ document, although it seemed pretty intuitive and
was the first thing I tried after seeing this request. (It's how Firefox is
configured.)
