Back/Forward keyboard shortcuts in desktop apps

The desktop clients have “Go Back” and “Go Forward” functions in the View menu. Why not assign the standard browser back/forward keyboard shortcuts to these functions

Windows: Alt + left, Alt + right
macOS: Cmd + left, Cmd + right

Especially while the back/forward buttons remain broken, this would be a great help, but also just a good standard feature.

Hi there @teqteq

Really cool suggestion, though. I've passed it on to the Desktop App Team. Thank you very much for your input!

These shortcuts only work in Windows 10 when the app has window focus (the window is in the foreground, not minimized and you’ve recently clicked on it so it’s “primary”). When the desktop app is minimized or the window is not primary, then the shortcuts do not work. If this is something you are not able to make work maybe grey out the shortcuts when they are not available.

Hi! As a new user who used Spotify and Youtube music before, I now realize how used I am now to navigating with keyboard, so really missing this feature!
I am a software developer, so I can contribute if it’s possible! Can’t find the Deezer app on Github tho, only an unofficial app (that has this feature btw :D)
