A:
Add an event listener to your window that traps the onkeyup event. Then find the keycode for the arrow key left and arrow key right (this will be an integer), and call history.back() for a left arrow or history.forward() for a right arrow value.

There’s also a convention of using `<link rel="next" src="URL_OF_NEXT_PAGE_HERE" />` in your `<head>` tag to indicate the next/previous pages in a sequence if “back” doesn’t necessarily mean “the last page in the user’s browser history”. You could read out those values and use them instead of `history.forward()` etc. See e.g. http://diveintohtml5.org/semantics.html#new-relations
