Whenever I'm in the Modern UI apps (Photos or Weather or etc), there is always this big 'back' arrow in the upper left hand corner, and instead of using my mouse all the time (on a non touch disply system), how can I use the keyboard to navigate back?

What are the keyboard shortcuts available for navigating the Modern UI applications in Windows 8?

    They should learn to turn off the spell checker's squiggles before taking screen shots. They look so unprofessional.
