"Manage your apps, extensions, and themes": This lets the extension detect when it has been re-enabled and install its code into tabs that are already open then. It does nothing else with the page, its information, or your typing. "Read and modify all your data": In order to capture backspace on every page, the extension needs to install a little piece of code on each one. This extension can't restore backspace on certain special pages, for example any of the "chrome://" pages such as Settings or Extensions. Many people lost their progress while working online by accidentally pressing backspace and leaving a page - so we removed the feature from Chrome, and created this extension for those who prefer the old behavior. * The minimum Chrome version for the extension is now 55, because that's when a simpler and more robust method that it uses was added to Chrome.īefore Chrome 52, the backspace key navigated back (if you weren't writing text). For example, entering '*' will match any HTTPS page on (including itself), and '*' will match any page within that path on that site. Control-K: Delete the text between the insertion point and the end of the line or paragraph. Fn-Delete: Forward delete on keyboards that don't have a Forward Delete key. * The two lists of URLs in the options now accept '*' as a wildcard for the end potion of any path. Control-D: Delete the character to the right of the insertion point. Go back with the backspace button! This extension re-enables the backspace key as a back navigation button - except if you're writing text. Re-enables the backspace key as a back navigation button (except when writing text).
