Make select parent node discoverable (and available on mobile) #96

This is actually a fundmental user action, I can not hide behind a keyboard shortcut only.

On mobile specifically (but also on Desktop) it is de-facto impossible to select certain nodes with just gestures. E.g. if you have a list of list items, it's easy to select a list item but not the whole list. You can drag from node gap, but that works only on destkop.

Easier: click somewhere into the node and press ESC one or multiple times to select the parent node until you reached the selection you wanted.

My first instinct is to add an "UP" action to the toolbar (to make it discoverable) but possibly there could also be some sort of gesture for it as a shortcut. We have ESC on desktop, on mobile the "UP" tool will likely be covered by the soft keyboard if you clicked a text element.

Difficult to solve this, especially on mobile. But there must be a way.
