The archive tree nodes currently expand automatically on selection, which may be unwanted and is not standard GTK behavior. Add a preference item to allow selecting whether automatic expansion should be the default. This addresses a request by W4RH4WK, github issue #171.

The keyboard shortcuts are Alt+Left to go back, Alt+Up to go up, Alt+Right to go forward, and Alt+Home to go to the root. This is part of the implementation of a request by W4RH4WK, github issue #171.

The right cursor key expands a node, the left cursor key collapses it. This closes a request by W4RH4WK, github issue #171.

I just noticed two keyboard related issues with xarchiver:
Keybindings for the back / up / forward actions are missing. My suggestion would be Alt+left for back, Alt+up for up, Alt+right for forward. These bindings correspond to Windows Explorer's bindings.
Tree nodes in the side bar cannot be closed via keyboard. Even further, tree nodes are automatically expanded when selecting them with the up/down keys. This makes it very tedious to navigate to a node at the same depth, when the tree is large (wide and deep). I'd suggest not opening the nodes when navigating with the up/down keys; left closes a node, right (or space, or enter) opens a node.
