I strongly agree!

BTW, I have a question since I upgraded (yesterday) my Linux distro
(Mageia) and, hence, upgraded Evince (now 3.10.3 with poppler/cairo
0.24.3): is there now a shortcut for this back button?

I don't agree:

1. "left" and left arrow are okay as you're always go /back/ in the
   history,
2. often, "B" means "bold".

I strongly agree! :)
