The Thunderbird mail client and Mozilla's bookmark editor both have a neat feature when you're cursoring through hierarchical lists (threaded view in Thunderbird): when an item is selected and you hit the left-arrow (or arrow-left?) key, it jumps to the parent item. Hit it again and the parent item closes. The latter already happens in a lot of places, would be nice if the former behaviour was put in as well :-)

Normally I'd say such requests should go to http://radar.apple.com/
But since I already overload keyboard behavior for at least the project drawer outline, this is probably a 5 minutes job -- although if I were to see this from Apple I'd probably like that when pressing arrow-left, the current position was remembered, and could be reached by pressing arrow-right (when placed at the parent element). That way, if one accidentally press arrow-left, there's a one stroke way to get back.
