Is there a Finder keystroke for moving an entire folder up one step in a hierarchical tree - as opposed to drag and drop? This would be really helpful when dealing with folders within long lists that need to be moved and dragging beyond the top or bottom of the window gets wonky.
Thanks,

Yes.
Select the child folder that you want to move up one level and press ⌘-C to copy it. Press ⌘-↑ to move up to the child's parent folder, and then press ⌥⌘-V to move the child to peer status with its former parent.

In Terminal window to move a folder up one level goes like this:
cd some-folder-name
mv xxx ..
where xxx is the folder/file you wish to move.
One other thing to try in Finder is have two Finder windows open and just drag items from the lower-level folder window to the upper-level folder window.
Good luck...
Keystroke for moving an entire folder up one step in tree?
