Description Danielle Madeley 2004-09-20 07:48:50 UTC 
It took me a long time to discover Alt-Up went up the tree. Backspace should
also take you up the tree (this is what Nautilus does). This is incredibly
useful when combined with the keyboard navigability given by the TreeView
typeahead. Allowing you to rapidly navigate the filesystem like in days of old.

Good idea :)  Please go ahead and commit.
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2004-11-16 16:54:26 UTC 
how does this interact with typeahead ?
Comment 6 Danielle Madeley 2004-11-16 17:09:54 UTC 
When you're in typeahead, the keystrokes are sent to the entry widget, therefore
you backspace in the entry widget. You have to get rid of the typeahead widget
before you can backspace back a directory. Useful though if you pressed enter on
the wrong thing.

Makes sense to me.
