I want to set Backspacekey as a short-cut that will either bring me up one directory (except for root) or will bring me back to the directory I was last in (which every is possible) in Nautilus.

I am using Gnome 3.18

@val0x00ff - accels are broken as of 3.14 I think... so no, those won't work with 3.18 – don_crissti Jan 27 '16 at 00:33
@don_crissti I see. I was checking the wrong version. on my GNOME Shell 3.8.4 it worked. – Valentin Bajrami Jan 27 '16 at 08:59
