The new keyboard shortcut for this is Alt-Up. Alt-Up browses to the parent directory just like Backspace used to do.
I don't like it but doesn't make it a bug. I found this out by accident, a hint should be good for everyone when the backspace is pressed, or even better, make the Backspace key work as it used to before. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1124632 Title: Backspace key does not work anymore.
