ctr + up  arrow  : to move from parent to parent
 
I think it'd be useful and probably simple to implement. child c --> parent/child b --> parent/child a  
Of course the reverse (down arrow)  isn't really possible I guess (parent/child a  -> parent/child b --> child c).
 
[  Edit  2010 11 16 -- 22 18 : if someone has an intelligent idea for ctrl-down arrow though... It would be nice..
And... I just had another idea , and maybe would that be even more useful :
 
Ctrl + down/up arrows : skipping from sibling to sibling, jumping over children (there might be another shortcut standard for that action... But I don't know it). Now that would be extremely handy. In big hierarchies, no need to collapse all the time. To see other parent-siblings  ]

Opinions ? Mantis ?
 
(The more I think about it, the more I believe that almost all navigation, collapsing/expanding etc. should be done with combinations of key modifiers (ctrl/alt) + arrows. More stuff that can be done from the same spot on the keyboard = more efficiency)

I'm not 100% sure what you mean here Armando
> skipping from sibling to sibling, jumping over children
 
sounds like fun though ;-)
(sorry I couldnt resist that one!!)
 
do you mean to move the focus or to move an item ?

:-D
 
What I mean is simply what I wrote
 
-A
     -a
     -b
     -c
     -d
     -e
-B
     -a2
     -b2
     -c2
     -d2
     -e2
-C
     -a3
     -b3
     -c3
     -d3
     -e3
 
ctrl-up/down arrow would allow you to jump (change focus) from C to B to A, and the reverse, without having to collapse all hierarchies first, OR without having to go through all children. This would work of course of any given set of siblings whether they are  collapsed or not, have children or not.
 
There's currently no way in IQ to do that. Even the hierarchical representation in the status bar doesn't allow that.

Comprendez -
I initially thought you were talking about moving items so didnt read properly after that...
 
Yes that would be great
