(Get the code!)
Okay, you can have data loss if you make two accidental misses in a row, one with your mouse, the other with your keyboard. It's much easier to get data loss by making one accidental click on the back button or the close button or by pressing Ctrl+W or Alt+F4, or ...
I think that Firefox should ask if you really want to lose the data in the form, but IMHO that's an entirely different bug (Epiphany asks in some cases, but not all).
(BTW: whether pages keep their data after a go forward depends on caching headers and maybe sometimes JavaScript used.)
And the new shortcut requires the use of 2 hands for many users that don't use a US keyboard (if you have a US keyboard, try pressing LeftAlt+LeftArrow, as many non-US keyboards have an AltGr key where RightAlt is on US keyboards, to be able to access additional characters, accents, etc.).
