Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Keyboard navigation does not work as expected on MacOS. It'd be a really big QoL improvement to be able to use Cmd+Up/Down to traverse a directory structure as I can in Finder. Additionally, the standard keyboard shortcut to select all text, Cmd+A, does not work on text inputs in the app.
Describe the solution you'd like
Better adherence throughout the app to standard MacOS keyboard conventions. A few specific examples:
Cmd+,should open the settings tabCmd+Left/Rightshould go back and forward instead ofAlt+Left/Right. If focused on a text input,Alt+Left/Rightshould instead be bound to moving between words as normal in a MacOS text inputCmd+Up/Downshould open a child directory and open the parent directory respectively as in Finder or Cyberduck- (Nice to have)
Entershould open the rename dialog instead of opening the directory
