How do I integrate the 'Alt + Left' keyboard combination into a clickable button within a pdf?

The below image is of a slide in a currently draft powerpoint presentation that I will be publishing to pdf and adding links between pages via adobe acrobat pro.

I would like the users of the document to press the 'Last Slide' button and for the pdf to automatically return them to their previous slide.

I understand that this can be achieved by pressing 'Alt + Left' on the keyboard but the vast majority of users will not be aware of this.

Is there a way of creating a macro (or something similar) to achieve my objective?

Thanks

James

Create a button field and as its MouseUp action select "Execute a menu item" and then "View>Page Navigation>Previous View" or "Previous Page".
