Changing nautilus key

Question

I cannot seem to find a way to set "up 1 folder" to backspace in 13.04 (Nautilus 3.6.3)

I tried editing ~/.config/nautilus/accels and I also tried the dconf > org > gnome > interface > can change accels

What are the steps to change this ?

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
