Summary: Navigate to the Parent Directory

Initial Comment:
As I remember, In the jEdit 4.2 version

No matter inside the open or save dialog, when I press the backspace it, it will navigate to the parent directory if the file name field is empty, but this feature was missing in the 4.3 version

i.e. when the current directory is c:\abc and when I press backspace key, it should navigate to c:\

Message:
backspace It works fine if you shift+tab to the table or the tree panes in
the file system browser, to change focus. 

Backspace from the "File Name" textfield doesn't go up a directory anymore,
that is true.

I changed that on purpose and I won't change it back because I never liked
it in jEdit 4.2 - I considered it a bug.

In jedit 4.2, both the backspace and back-arrow are work but in 4.3 only
the back-arrow is functional (i.e. the backspace have no effect)

I suggest you to install 4.2 to see the effect

Moreover, in the 4.2 version if the current directory is c:\abc when i
press backspace or back-arrow to navigate to the parent directory, the
preselected file name will be abc but this was not preserved in 4.3 version
(I don't know whether this is a good feature or not, but it may be great
for user who want to go to the directory that above or below it)

oops. ignore that last comment about '-'.
It looks like it works as backspace or back-arrow in both tree panes. 
Which widget had focus when you observed those keystrokes did not work?

The shortcut should be '-' or the minus sign, not the backspace.
there are 2 panes, and the upper one responds to backspace and not minus
sign, while the lower pane responds to the minus sign and not the
backspace. It is inconsistent in any case, and I will fix it, so that the
minus sign works in both panes. And also the left - arrow. 
I didn't like the backspace because sometimes the textarea had focus adn
the backspace caused unexpected side-effects there.

Seems that You mean the standalone VFS browser.

In the file open/save dialog this function is assigned to the LEFT key,
that works in VFS browser too.
