Keyboard shortcut Ctrl-[ (Navigation > Back) not working on Windows
I don't understand why, but Ctrl-[ doesn't go back for me on Windows. It does on Linux though. I'm on 117 on both.

The behavior of keyboard shortcuts can sometimes vary depending on your operating system and the applications you are using. In the case of the Ctrl-[ shortcut not working for you on Windows, it might be due to certain factors such as the specific application you are using or conflicts with other keyboard shortcuts. Check the Application Browser Extensions Hope it will resolve the issue.

Just installed on a laptop of a friend - same thing. Disabled the only extension (Dark Reader) - same.

That keyboard shortcut is only recognized on Linux and Mac, not on Windows.

I can't see this stated anywhere in the docs. As the matter of fact can't see any mention about shortcuts being different between platforms. Should I file a bug for docs maybe or I'm not reading it properly?
On the right side of the keyboard shortcuts page under the "Customize this article" heading, you can choose which platform to show shortcuts for. The default will be the OS reported by your user agent.

Today I learned... Would have expected this to be more prominent on the page (sorry, bit embarassed here, so making up excuses :D ) Thank you, and have a nice day :)
