Description James 2013-01-27 17:43:40 UTC 
You used to be able to press "backspace" in nautilus, and go "up" one level. This doesn't seem to work anymore, and there's no evidence of a way to customize your own shortcuts for nautilus. I search in dconf-editor for some setting, but wasn't able to find one.

Thanks!

Found out that adding:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ShellActions/Up" "BackSpace")

to ~/.config/nautilus/accels fixes this.

This is a workaround for the desperate until this can get fixed.

HTH,
James

To avoid confusion with just-type search, the keybinding is Alt-Up in 3.6.

Can you confirm that there is no intention to disable the user from setting "BackSpace" as the up action as shown in my accels config?

I also don't understand the confusion with just-type search. Would you be able to expand slightly or at least point me to a mailing list thread or something?

Thanks!

I cannot as I am no Nautilus developer.

You can just type to start a search, just like in gnome-shell. Probably best to ask on https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list for more info.
