Bug Description
In previous versions of nautilus (the one shipped in 12.10),
In the file list, pressing the backspace in the keyboard browses to the upper directory in the tree.
For instance if you're in /home/me and press backspace, you go to /home
Now the backspace key does nothing.
This shortcut key worked in recent versions of Windows, so removing it is an annoyance for new Ubuntu users.

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.
