Description
How does one unmap the default behavior to go back or forward in the browser when pressing cmd + arrow or cmd + arrow respectively? I have so far tried:
unmap
unmap cmd +
And neither appears to work
The reason for wanting to unmap is because it prevents me from doing proper line selection (cmd + left would normally highlight the text to the left of the cursor)
An alternative solution is to only allow this command to send you back or forward in history if you're not focused in an text input

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the cmd+left and cmd+right behavior in Vimium with and without a focused text input, then trace the existing mapping entry point. Done means the browser history shortcut can be unmapped or is suppressed while editing, without breaking normal Vimium mappings.
