Description Matěj Týč 2015-04-13 11:59:18 UTC 
I was used to use Alt + up to leave the current directory and Alt + down to enter a directory (or to open a file IIRC).

In 3.16, the Alt + up still works, but Alt + down not any more.
This is a pity, I got used to nagivate through directories swiftly using Alt + arrows (with occasional typing). Now, I have to move my right hand to hit Enter and then move it back to reach up when I want to one level up in the directory hierarchy.

I think that the Alt + down default keyboard shortcut should be reintroduced.
