Some information from the upstream bug: it turns out that it is configurable - the way to restore the backspace key functionality is to add:
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ShellActions/Up" "BackSpace") to ~/.config/nautilus/accels. It's obviously a pain to have to do this manually for every Ubuntu installation, but at least it makes nautilus more user-friendly again. The upstream bug is flagged as resolved due to being a duplicate of what is actually not a duplicate bug, so I doubt upstream will take any further action. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1108637 Title: backspace key no longer works in nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1108637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
