Description palfrey 2006-05-18 13:30:00 UTC 
If I press the backspace key while having focus on a Nautilus window, it opens a
directory one level up. I've also seen the same behaviour in other system (I
think Windows does something similar). In file roller however, backspace does
nothing. I would expect it to move me up a directory in the current compressed file.

Alt+arrow keys would be nice too.

key navigation patch

This attachment adds keyboard navigation similar to Nautilus.

Backspace, Alt+Left = Back
Alt+Right = Forward
Alt+Up = Up one level
Alt+Home = Go to "Home" (root of archive)

backspace goes up not back

Sorry for the spam. I realised I had misread the original bug report - backspace should go up a level, not back in the history as I first thought.
