Any idea why on https://gocardless.com/merchants/new, when the Email Address input has focus, Cmd+Left arrow do not navigate to the previous page? Once the input no longer has focus, I'm allowed to use the shortcut again.

Probably because Cmd+left arrow is the system shortcut for "jump to the start of the current line." You'll see this behaviour when a form input has focus on any site.

Which, in turn, is why Cmd+[ and Cmd+] are by default bound to "Back" and "Forward" in at least Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

OHhh that's true. I've been curious why stuff like this breaks for months now. I use OSX at work, Ubuntu/Windows at home, and jumping between this many OSs I sometimes forget about the system bindings if I'm not in an IDE. Thanks!

No idea why that's the case but I'll mention it to our front-end team
