This is a patch, which changes navigation between Items and their children to allow the Space/Backspace keys to be used.
I don't like navigating to children and back with the arrow keys. So, here is a patch which allows using space and backspace like they were Right and Left.
Backspace works only if the Query is empty, of course. And it doesn't apply for text mode. To enter text with spaces you must always enter text mode.
In the end it is a trade-off:
Wether you use Do often to enter text, then you may not like it having to enter the TextMode key all the time, or wether you often browse your music albums or similar then it is really cumbersome having to use the arrow keys all the time.
