By clicking on the directory you want to navigate to? – Nsukami _ Feb 14 '17 at 14:47

2Do you want to erase the speedbar buffer and draw a new one where the root directory is one less than the current root -- e.g. `/Users/HOME/` to `/Users/`? Or do you want to keep the view open with the same root directory and just have the cursor jump up to a higher directory if it exists? For example, does `speedbar-up-directory` do what you want? – lawlist Feb 14 '17 at 16:59

Shift-U : Move the entire speedbar display up one directory.

Thanks! Relatedly, why was this so hard to find for me? What exploratory skills necessary for becoming proficient at emacs am I missing?! – cammil Aug 21 '17 at 09:57

1C-h a -> `apropos-command`, regexp search for commands. C-h m -> `describe-mode`. C-h k -> `describe-key` enter keys to see what they do C-h f -> `describe-function` Useful with something like helm-mode to give you an updating list of matching functions. It's nice when you don't quite know what the function would be called. C-h v -> `describe variable`. `M-x profiler-start` and then do whatever it is you're interested in. `M-x profiler-report` to see what commands were run during the profile. If you see a function that looks interesting in that profile report, `M-x debug-on-entry` into it. – Eric Ihli Jul 24 '19 at 18:36
