Try theseI have macOS Big Sur 11.3.1.
sudo rm -f ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
sudo rm -f ~/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
defaults write ~/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add Back "\U232b"
defaults write ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add Back "\U232b"
The first two commands are just to make sure any previous unsuccesful attempts are deleted.Still nothing. They only reset Safari settings but the shortcut has not changed.
You've missed post #7 Instead of Back, use Wroc (with the correct spelling)My screen.
I understand what these commands mean. I am an IT specialist, but I worked on Windows. MacOS seems simpler and shouldn't be a problem. But I don't understand, maybe they turned it off for good in the new version of Safari.
What you're not explaining is that since you're replacing a menu key equivalent, you have to use the actual *localized* menu text, not the word "Back".You've missed post #7 Instead of Back, use Wroc (with the correct spelling)
defaults write ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add Wróć "\U232b"
I can confirm that it's working in Safari 15 Big Sur and Montrey. Close Safari and try this first from Terminal:Setting up on a Monterey 12.0, Safari 15.0, M1Pro machine and I can't figure out what to do. I remember the last time I dealt with this backspace problem a few years ago it was one code copied into terminal, press enter, and it worked. Now I don't know where to begin. If anyone know's what to do, I would be soooo happy!

Give it 20 seconds or better log out for the change to take effect.Code:defaults write com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add Back "\U232b"
!! I had to do the step about giving terminal full disk access, and it worked! Browsing the web makes sense again! Thank you!

I know you found a way by changing the shortcut, but this works in Safari 16.6 here on Ventura 13.5After updating to macOS 10.14.4 with Safari 12.1, the backspace key doesn't seem to work as back button anymore. I have tried with defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2BackspaceKeyNavigationEnabled -bool YES and Onyx/Deeper, but with no luck. If anyone finds a solution, please share it.
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitPreferences.backspaceKeyNavigationEnabled 1
As Apple has depreciated a lot of WebKit options lately, I’m surprised this was resurrected and working.I know you found a way by changing the shortcut, but this works in Safari 16.6 here on Ventura 13.5
