Address Bar Moving to Previous/Forward Pages With Arrow Keys

[tooslzy]

Description

When you're in the address bar, and click right/left arrow key, it'll go to the previous site or the next site (similar to alt + [right/left arrow]).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Focus on the address bar (Ctrl + L or click it)
2. Click the right or left arrow.

Expected result:

The expected behavior is to move the text cursor right or left.

Reproduces how often:

It happens every time. I can get around it by holding down SHIFT to move the cursor, but that selects the text. I can also move by whole words by holding down CTRL, but it's not precise enough. I can move right, if the page is on the latest one, since it can't move any further. Another "workaround" is to right click a link and open it in a new tab, so there isn't any history of previous/forward pages on that tab. This lets me use the arrow keys normally.

I checked the my flags again and I realized it might be the BraveCommands feature. I went to the URL (brave://commands/) and I saw the commands Back and Forward and their keybinds. It shows that the Arrow[Left/Right] keys are binded to the action, but it doesn't let me remove them. I can only remove the Alt + Arrow[Left/Right]. When I disable the feature, it returns to the normal behavior.

I was experiencing the same issue when I found this issue. I was however able to fix it (for now at least) by removing the left/right arrows in brave://commands/.
