Navigation to previous commands.

Whenever a user navigates to a command with sub-commands, there's nothing to tell the user to press the Escape key to go back. I think showing some sort of help message can make the user navigate back from deep sub-commands, without trying to figure out which key to press. This is a huge problem on mobile phones

Hi Quavo, I understand your problem and I will try to think of a good solution. For now though, maybe you can just render a back option, like this?

@albingroen Could you utilize delete or backspace, as raycast does?

They also include a "back" button:

You can also use the footer property on the root component to show something like this.

Just found this lib and wanted to say the same: going up a level via backspace would be really useful to implement.

This PR adds support for hitting Backspace to move up a page (runs the onEscape if specified)
