Re: Long overdue
If you want easy navigation, install "mouse gestures" or a similar plugin, or get a keyboard with forward and back buttons.
And take my hands off the home row? That cure is worse than the disease.
(Alt + Left-Arrow is a lousy accelerator for the same reason, but at least those are keys I use frequently, so they're easy to touch-type. Random non-standard single-purpose only-on-some-keyboards keys like Forward and Back buttons are much more disruptive.)
