Jono Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Being able to navigate into aliases and symlinks is really handy, but sometimes I find myself wanting to navigate back. Is that currently possible? If I navigate from the Desktop into an alias (on the Desktop) which is (for example call Car Receipts and actually located at ~/Documents/Receipts/2012/Car Receipts) Alfred will show the full path of ~/Documents/Receipts/2012/Car Receipts. If I hit the left arrow or Backspace it will go back 1 level (from Car Receipts to 2012, then to Receipts etc.) But is there any way to navigate back from the Car Receipts alias to the Desktop folder? If not please consider adding the ability to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhunt Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Try adding the directory you would like to navigate back to to the file buffer with alt+[up]. You can then get back to it easily with alt+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 That does work, but you have to do this before navigating into the other folder(s). Most of the time I don't plan to go backwards, so won't have done this. I'm wanting a way of going back where you don't have to perform a specific action first.

aiyo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I also think being able to go back from a symlinks would be a neat feature. Maybe using the arrow-up key, like in default mode, to access previous visited folders. Jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yes, I think we need a way to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow-up key is of course not possible to use as it's used to select items in the list... But maybe: Command + Shift + Arrow-Up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
