Server Version#: 1.28.2.6151  
Player Version#: 4.91.2

Why does the Plex Web Player not utilize the standard “ **Back** ” (_ALT+LEFT_) and “ **Forward** ” (_ALT+RIGHT_) shortcuts that all Windows browsers utilize?

Netflix, Disney+, Prime, etc all can use these shortcuts for navigation, and Plex Web Player _used_ to work this way as well, but not any longer. Why?

Even stranger is the fact that those exact shortcuts work in navigation for _Plex’s own application_, but **not** in the browser player.
