Bug Description

Nautilus 3.6 takes "/" as shortcut key for activating location entry, and thus we cannot use slash in gnome-terminal anymore. This is no fault of nautilus-terminal but the situation renders it quite unusable. There could be a workaround: capture slash keycode, handle it and prevent it from being propagated to Nautilus.

I changed accelerators to workaroud this problem.
1.Open ~/.config/nautilus/ folder. Here you should see a file named accels. It contains all available nautilus actions you can assign an accel to.
2.Change
;(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ShellActions/PromptLocationAccel" "slash")
to
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ShellActions/PromptLocationAccel" "<Primary>slash")
Edit this file, save and close.
3.restart nautilus

You can use Ctrl+/ to promptlocation now.
