Hotkeys to jump to parent and to jump to next/previous sibling
Since the latest major release the hotkeys for navigating have become way more powerful :)
There's still a frequent motion that I find myself reaching for the mouse though.
That's moving focus from currently selected line to it's parent, skipping any other visible siblings on the way. While doing this, I don't want to change what I see on the screen by collapsing or zooming items, so can't use those shortcuts.
For example:
Parent
Child1
Child2
Child3
Sibling
Child4
If my focus is on Child3, I don't think there's a way to immediately jump up to the Parent, without going via Child2 then Child1 then Parent.
Secondly, if I'm focused on the Parent and want to jump to Sibling, I have to either:
- go via each child of Parent,
- collapse Parent and move down (I still want the children visible)
- Use Alt+J to jump (this is still slightly longer, I have to enter the node name)
- Use the mouse :(
The new Alt-J jump feature is good and I'm trying to use this more, but it's still a longer workaround than simple keys such as Alt Up or Ctrl Up or something like that.
Linking two other ideas that are along similar themes:

Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down seems to jump up/down by top level project

Okay, my indentation in the example structure was lost. Let's try this:
Parent
--Child1
--Child2
--Child3
Sibling
--Child4Is that clearer?
