Alt + Arrow Keys on Chrome

This has been brought up before but never resolved. The alt+arrow key command to move tokens without snapping to the grid is also bound to "forwards/back page" in Google Chrome and there isn't a way in Chrome to disable this shortcut. This wasn't previously a problem in roll20 but recently it has stopped overriding the Chrome command and started sending me back to the homepage whenever I try to move tokens in this way. This is rather frustrating and I was wondering if there is a workaround or a way to rebind commands in roll20. Thank you!

It might help to specify your operating system. I cannot reproduce on a Mac or a Chromebook.
Sorry. Windows 10. Dell computer.

I don't have an immediate suggestion, but the ALT+arrow combo to "nudge" token's around a grid works for me on win10 w/chrome.  If I'm on another tab that's not the VTT, the ALT+arrow moves forward || back as expected as well...

Maybe try a browser extension for Chrome like  AutoControl: Custom shortcuts, Mouse gestures  ?

It might be helpful for comparing purposes, to post the version of Chrome you are using. It's possible this is due to a new Chrome update.

Mac OS 11.5.1 (20G80) Chrome Version 92.0.4515.159 (Official Build) (arm64) I can alt-nudge. Charlotte, I would suggest trying an alt-nudge in a private browsing window. That should eliminate most possible extension conflicts.
