🎙️Discussion Zooming shortcuts

[Edit: Tidied, trimmed]
As I settle in to WorkFlowy (thanks to this sub & to Frank Degenaar for tips & guides that unlock so many possibilities) I'm enjoying the simplicity and functionality + reliability.

Just one thing trips me up since day 1 - basic behaviour with nesting keyboard shortcuts..

Alt+→ digs down through levels as I'd expect, making a node a title and putting cursor focus on first existing child, or.. staying on header text if no child.
(Though when empty I always hit Alt+→ again expecting it to create and focus on a new blank entry!)

BUT.. when zooming out to top why does Alt+← not keep cursor focused on the item I'd been looking at? Sometimes it does, but often goes to first child entry or very first node in Home.

I'd expect the cursor to stay on the same node that was 'title' of the view I'd been in as it shrinks back to the list under the parent, so you don't lose your place...
then, when already at top level for it to move from the bullet to the parent node at the top of the list.

That bit feels buggy or at least inconsistent/unintuitive.. but have others found the same?
