Expected Behavior

Alt+Left is a browser keyboard shortcut that takes you back to the previous page, just like the Back button.

Actual Behavior

You can't do that. Probably due to the browser believing that it's already doing something on the webpage, so it doesn't go back.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to https://llk.github.io/scratch-gui/develop/ (or a project page on the Scratch website. It can be any project at all, even one that doesn't have any "when key pressed" blocks. Example: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10128067/).
  2. Hold the Alt key while pressing the left arrow key.

Nothing happens, other than the project recognizing that you pressed the left arrow key.

System Details/Other

Windows 10 with Edge 101.0.4951.64

This glitch was also reported on Scratch over at https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/406748/

Luckily, on Chrome or Edge anyways, if you press Alt, then Alt+Left, it focuses the three dots button on the menu bar and then you can go back.

Originally reported on scratchfoundation/scratch-www#6878, but that was in the wrong repository AFAIK
