The problem
Deep folder structures can make repeated trips to navigation controls tiring. An empty-area gesture offers a consistent mouse action.
A practical answer
GJ File Manager can map an empty-area double-click to parent-folder navigation. It is distinct from opening a file by double-clicking it.
Step by step
- Open mouse behavior in Settings and inspect the empty-area double-click action.
- Set it to navigate up, then enter a sample subfolder.
- Double-click empty space in the file area and verify the parent path.
- Double-click a folder to enter it and compare the two actions.
Know the limits
Your configuration wins. Workspace boundaries or an inaccessible parent may limit upward navigation.
Common question
Why did double-clicking a file not go up?
The gesture applies to empty space. Double-clicking an item performs its opening action.
