One thing about this is that this only works when the top of a tree is
selected.

- msg A
|__msg b

will collapse when msg A is selected.
It'd be nice to be able to walk up a tree with the arrows, like some
other clients do.

For example:

- msg A
|_- msg b
  |_ msg c

When msg c is selected, press left, left to collapse instead of up, up,
left.
It's more intuitive (imho) to walk up and down a tree with the up and
down keys, and right and left (expanding and collapsing) with the
respective keys.

Best regards,
Lode

could be better)
