Backspace to go BACK a page in Safari gone?

[adztaylor]

Seems like I won't be upgrading to ML...I use the delete button ALL the time to go back web pages.

You wasn't going to anyway. You have made sure the entire Macrumors community knows about it.

2.) Go to ~/Library/Preferences and open the com.apple.Safari.plist file

I don't seem to have this file. Can anyone suggest where else it might be located, or how to generate one?

you could also try using the defaults command in terminal to do the same thing:

defaults write com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Back" "⌫"

this worked for me. i had to restart safari to get it to take.

thanks, ~joris, for figuring out that the ⌫ character works!

So happy to have it back!

Question, though: In order to get the backspace character (⌫) I had to cut and paste from a previous post in this tread. How do you get it directly, does anyone know?

Thanks!
