Back shortcut Cmd + [ doesn't work inside a Community thread

This issue is especially frustrating when using a mouse with a back button, as the button is often mapped to the same shortcut, rendering it useless.

Some key combinations are reserved for other functions on this site, as detailed in the “(?)” icon in the lower-right corner of a text box for composing questions and replies. Bold, Italics, Underline, Outdent, Indent, Quote, Add Link, each have their key combination defined here.

Not sure if or how this can be overridden by the user.
