Go to parent dir on double click in empty space?

Too bad, it was such a handy thing. [...] The main drawback with the mouse alternatives is that the "target" is always very small, and thus requires (mouse) aiming; the empty space approach is nice in that it usually offers a huge area for performing the action, which leads to much faster gesture execution since you can do it nearly blindfolded, without any aiming (i.e., you just "throw" the mouse towards the space and "blindly" double click). The hotkey approach is also slow since it usually involves letting go of the mouse.

I use PowerPro to achieve that: by assigning a mouse gesture of left-drag-up to send a Backspace (only to and from DOpus). No aiming needed; works fine on empty space, but also on status lines and toolbars if there's no empty space handy.

If left-drag-up doesn't suit (though it seems a natural analogue for 'going up' to me), then any of dozens of other mouse gestures or button combos are available.

And of course you might then assign, say, left-drag-down, left-drag-right, left-drag-left to go to Root, Desktop, Back, Forward, Next Tab, Previous Tab, etc, etc.
