Are you aware that there is a key binding bound to "backspace" that is
in charge of selecting the parent node?
I don't fully see how your proposed behavior greatly enhances the
usability. Other than that you can easily collapse the entire tree by
keeping shift+left pressed. (But, we have another key binding just
for that). In general I think that overloading key bindings with
multiple actions is bad; when the key bindings were being "designed"
by the usability team, I recall that avoiding overloading was
important.
Who is in charge of GNOME usability/key bindings these days? In the
past Calum Benson was involved in this If I remember correctly.
