Using the PDF Plug-in from shubert-it, When viewing a PDF, Cmd-LeftArrow should
function as the "Back" button. Cmd-[ works, but Cmd-LeftArrow doesn't work. This
is using Chimer 0.6 and the 0.3.1 plug-in.

Here's an email exchange with Manfred, the author:

The plugin returns false when asked to handle the (left arrow) key event in this
case. I believe that means that Chimera could use it then. It works in Internet
Explorer or OmniWeb.

Here's an update from Manfred (he did some testing) that indicates the problem
is in Chimera not in the plugin:

> Do you handle Cmd-[ in the plugin?

No, I don't. Just those keys described in the ReadMe.

For testing, I tried handling the left arrow key, and then Internet Explorer
let's the plugin handle it and command-left arrow does not go back. So Internet
Explorer behaves correctly, and I believe this is a Chimera problem.
