Inner Blocks - Navigating Upward in the hierarchy

[pinarol]

User should be able to navigate upward in the hierarchy.

Please take a look at the prototype to get a sense of how it should behave.

User should be able to navigate upward in the hierarchy by tapping the Up button inside the floating toolbar.

Linking this comment here since it contains relevant discussion.

Especially this part:

Considering the upcoming work to implement a hierarchy navigation toolbar, I think we should go one of two routes. Either:

- Slim down the additional margins to ~4-8px left/right (this would lessen the problem, but not fix it)
- Remove the additional margins completely (this would mean all blocks – nested or not – would be full-width, but wouldn't provide as much a visual cue of hierarchy)

If there are other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Hard to tell before using, I think we can do both and compare as an experiment 🤔

Hello 👋

What should be correct order during navigating to the top ?
Let's say I have below structure:

`

<!-- wp:image_root -->
<!-- wp:heading_root -->

    <!-- wp:group1_root -->
        <!-- wp:image_g1 -->
        <!-- wp:heading_g1 -->
    <!-- /wp:group1_root -->

<!-- wp:video_root  -->

    <!-- wp:group2_root -->
        <!-- wp:heading_g2 -->
        <!-- wp:paragraph_g2 --> **current selection
    <!-- /wp:group2_root -->

`

the order of the selections will be:
wp:heading_g2 -> wp:group2_root -> wp:video_root -> wp:heading_g1 -> wp:image_g1 -> wp:group1_root -> wp:heading_root -> wp:image_root

is that correct ?

Navigating upward is necessary only in case the block has inner blocks, we expect navigating upward would set the focus to the block’s parent. The order would be just:
paragraph_g2 -> group2
If I understand the example right, group2 doesn’t have a parent so there’s nowhere else to navigate in upwards direction at that point.
