Changing nautilus key

Solution 1:

Just add the accel key to the config file. I did in a terminal console:

echo '(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ShellActions/Up" "BackSpace")' >> ~/.config/nautilus/accels

Restart nautilus after killing it by executing

nautilus -q

This worked for me:

edit ~/.config/nautilus/accels

Press Ctrl+F and type Alt>Up to find the right line.

Remove the ; symbol in front of the line:

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

Change <Alt>Up to BackSpace
