Not a silly question at all...  Standard file permits all sorts of shortcuts.
Typing a file name will go to it (it works like I-search in emacs).
Command down-arrow and command up-arrow move you through the heirarchy.
Tab is identical to pressing the drive button.

Most of these also work in the save dialog as well.  The exceptions are
enter and return (saves the file, use command down-arrow to open a folder),
and typing a file's name (goes in the file name box instead of selecting,
use arrows to select a folder).
