Command for going to parent folder: open-dir-parent #1642

Closed cool-RR closed 1 year ago

cool-RR commented 1 year ago

I love using vd like Norton Commander to navigating my folders. One limitation is that you can't easily go to folders above the folder you opened it in. I wish there was a command and key binding for that.

There is open-dir-parent, bound to backtick (`), added for #1601.

While I do see this comment defined in shell.py in my local VisiData installation, pressing the backtick doesn't go to the parent folder. Trying to run the command manually causes an error message "no command open-dir-parent" to be shown. Also, the command doesn't show in the commands sheet.

Either I'm missing something, or this issue should be changed into a bug.

This has happened for me both on Windows and on Linux.

@cool-RR I have confirmed that it does work on the develop version of VisiData! I suspect you have an issue with your local VisiData environment. There is an earlier version of VisiData on your system that is being picked up.

I have tested this as well now, and indeed under the develop version, this feature works. I don't think I have a problem with my local environment. I'm running the latest version 2.10.2 and that feature was implemented after this version. I didn't realize it was that new. Thanks anyway!
