Hello,

Is there any way to get the backspace key work on Fedora 25 default file manager?

I have tried to set gtkaccelpath "/ShellActions/Up" "BackSpace" in accels file but it seems it is not working.

Thanks.

I, too, miss this feature. It is puzzling that it was removed.

If you are full time linux user then use alt + up and alt + down for navigation in nautilus, Because it's actually faster option than backspace. You can enter into directory, leave directory as well as move around with just arrows and alt. :-)

You can view a list of two pages of shortcuts by pressing CTRL+F1 in nautilus (works in other Gnome applications as well).

Thanks for the idea, but I use alt + up and down keys for volume control and backspace is more convenient to use with nautilus.
