Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: gcc 3.3.3 OS: Linux User-friendly shortcut as Mozilla/IE have It will be a nice feature for time saving ;-)
Bug #47976 seems to have related information
Note that we use Alt+arrows for these.
Answering #2: Alt+left arrow = go back Alt+right arrow = go forward Ok, those shortcuts are also in IE and Mozilla I wish a backspace shortcut for go up when filebrowsing, the shortcut for go back or go up when internet browsing it's less important.
Maybe I am stupid for not understanding this bug, but why don't you just assign backspace to "go back" ? This is what I am doing here.
I have configured it, too. It's a wish for the default shotcut.
KDE does not have the ability to assign more than 2 shortcuts to an action. Currently, ALT+Key_Left and Key_Back (the special back button found on "multimedia" keyboards) are assigned to this action. So this wish can't be fulfilled unless KDE obtains the ability to have more than 2 shortcuts assigned to an action.
I was browsing for another bug report and found this one (somehow related). My comment on the default setting for "up one dir": Why 2 keys (Alt+Up) for such a used file manager navigation action, such as moving up one directory? (when Backspace is a lot easier to hit (and it's bigger on some keyboards) This choice somehow eludes me... of course, "Up" is the actual action, but I'm wandering thinking of usability. P.S. I didn't even know that Backspace in webbrowsers act as Back (I was used with Alt+Left/Right, because this is not something I do often).
Some of my commens about the behaviour of Up/Back starting comment #8 in the bug below: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58672#c8
