Pressing enter from quick search containing ".." does not change current directory.

Hi there,

I like to walk trough my dirs with the keyboard. Searching for dirs and file with just typing in the thing I want works pretty cool, but to go to a parent dir by just typing ".."+ enter does not work.

After typing .. nothing happens :( That makes my sad ;)

I would prefer the ".." would be handled like a normal path.

Thanks for sunflower!

Can you give me more information about what happens. By typing .. are you invoking quick search, or entering a command?

[MeanEYE]

And you are welcome! :)

I sent a mail as a reply, but it seems it will not get here ;)

So:

it opens the Searchbox at the end. But it will not go into the parent dir... For better understanding, there is a little Screencast.

Thanks a lot Marcel

Oooh, that's a strange one. It should absolutely do that. Thanks for reporting it. I'll fix it!

There's a check that prevents going up to parent directory if quick search is active: https://github.com/MeanEYE/Sunflower/blob/6b4aef4fca2506912f1f14ec4a7e8e68f49b42ae/sunflower/plugin_base/item_list.py#L1236-L1239

I guess this was included to prevent going up directories when pressing Backspace key.

Hm, right you are. This check is there so Backspace could work. But it's preventing the regular move to parent directory as well. Good catch @joshas.
