"Zoom out to parent block" shortcut hint is not accurate #702

Describe the bug

In "Roam Help" dialog the "Zoom out to parent block" command shows alt+left as the keyboard shortcut mapped to it. However, alt+left doesn't necessarily do it. In particular, if I enter the block's page through search instead of going through the parent page, alt+left will get me to wherever I was when I did the search. So really alt+left is just Go back and has nothing to do with parent-child relationship image

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create page A with a block A1
  2. Create page B
  3. Go to page B
  4. Use the search dialog to get to block A1 directly (skip the parent A page)
  5. Press alt+left
  6. Page B opens, instead of page A

System Information:

Note that alt+left makes sense as a go back command shortcut. It's just that the Zoom out to parent block command should perhaps have a dedicated shortcut that doesn't assume we came there through the parent
