    Instead of attempting a custom action or looking for a particular method, use the Keys method on the page object and send

     

    Aliases.browser.myPage.Keys(~[Left])

    I'm not entirely certain but I think this keystroke combination is supported by all browser types.

I have a better solution that is probably more what you are looking for,

 

//Navigates to the previous item in the history list.
var pageObj = Aliases.browser.Page("*");
pageObj.contentDocument.Script.eval("history.back()");
Delay(1000);

 

I really don't understand why there isn't a function implemented in test complete to do this natively.

    Thanks DexBhp, I changed the tool for automation, so I can't confirm your approach.

    Sorry, I hope it will help to some body
