Max2016: Slate Material Editor "Go To Parent"

Is there a hidden shortkey to go to parent like in the compact editor?

Hi,

AFAIK the Go to Parent button was deemed unnecessary in a node based editor like Slate. I have to agree as you are literally looking at the parent at any given moment. It's always a point/click away. But that's just me - no offense intended if you would find it useful. 🙂

If they would rename it to "Back To Previous selection" it would be more senseful and absolutely helpful resp. even needed!
The only big disadvantage of the compact editor (and the render dialog) are the missing multiple columns (like in the command panel). I never understood this, as the code already exists.
