Title:
  Key bindng for Back and Forward functionality

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Confirmed
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  There's no key binding for back and forward mechanism; there isn't a
  menu item either. The only way to access it is to have the button
  placed on the toolbar. Usually, on wide-screen machines, people hide
  toolbars and such to maximize vertical space.

  Also, the ubiquitous keyboard bindings for back and forward is
  Alt+Left and Alt+Right (say, in Adobe reader). But in Evince this is
  assigned to rotating pages. Given that the latter is a least-used
  functionality, no only it's a wastage of key binding, but also does it
  cause confusion for users migrating from common programs like Adobe
  reader.
