It should all be one line. I think it won't wrap with code tags. Try this:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2BackspaceKeyNavigationEnabled -bool YESok I did that... but Safari was open... and I haven't closed and opened it yet (just in the middle of something)... will it take effect then?
You'll have to quit safari (not just close it) and reopen it for this to take effect. So, it won't work yet. But whenever you are done, quit and relaunch and it'll start working.
Excellent, thank you
Not when you've been hitting the backspace key without even having to think about it since the mid-1990s
Recipe works on Mountain Lion to restore back button

No it is not, especially if you don't have a touchpad!
Thanks for the tip, this was driving me crazy.
Thank you so much for the code for terminal!
This along with the unified address and search bar of Safari 6 has been tough getting used to. Out of instinct, I hit command-t for a new tab followed by a prompt press of the Tab on the keyboard to get me over to the search bar to get me going. This is much like the backwards scrolling or the right scrolling Lion introduced!
The Command-arrow seems to be a good option but that requires some thought as well as multiple fingers. My pinky finger operates the other keyboard shortcut. Hell, it works so fast I don't even know I do it!
And to those out there saying these other shortcuts are just as good...Not everyone goes out and buys everything apple releases. I don't have the lastest and greatest trackpad, external trackpad or mouse. We should be fine as long as they don't severely cripple us.
Again, thanks for the string of code for terminal! This will be great!

This is a BEAUTIFUL thing! Working perfect for me under Mountain Lion 10.8!
Thanks Again!

Didn't realize this was removed until I connected a monitor to my MB and a keyboard and closed the lid. Glad I have it back.

Argh! I was looking at porn and in my excitement I accidentally hit the Spacebar and missed the best part. Apple should remove this feature too!
Not the most talented or trained Mac user, could you tell me how to get where I need to be to implement this change? Thanks so much!

Figured it out by reading all of the other posts, sorry, and thanks!!
