So it is. Not having this in any menu (unlike, say, those same keys for back 
and forth in the graphics window) makes it hard to discover.

Perhaps adding menu options for  “Back” and “Forward” in the “Windows” menu, 
showing they are bound to ⌘-[ and ⌘-] would enable discovery.

Anyone have thoughts on the function-bar help size?
