Description Cor Nouws 2014-12-22 10:41:38 UTC 
In the LibreOffice file dialog, to return to a folder on level higher, one has to hit backspace. Fine.
However, from most file managers one is used to Alt+Left

I suggest to add that for the LibreOffice file dialog too.

is enhancement request of course

To my knowledge Alt+Left is back and not up a folder level.

May well be, indeed.
But for a workflow where you go deeper in the tree and then want to go up, the effect is the same.
Now if you open the dialog and want to go up from the start level... then Alt-left working would be nice too of course..

iirc, the LibreOffice file dialog is not actively maintained any more
(though we may hope kept in working state for use of FilePicker in scripting ;) )
