Pressing multiple keys can be confusing as you have to remember which combo does what. Playing "Chase The Cursor" while trying to type work related documents is also annoying, as it is the only viable option.

BTW, this can be irritating especially for novice end-users that don't
understand the concept of focus ... consider that you accidentally
leave a text fiel where you typed a lot of text, then you press
backspace and suddenly you go a page back. I imagine that this can
really confuse users at best ... or even shock them (hey i have lost
all the text i just typed).
