<C-M-up> runs the command backward-up-list
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `lisp.el'.
It is bound to <C-M-up>, C-M-u, ESC <C-up>.
(backward-up-list &optional ARG)

Move backward out of one level of parentheses.
With ARG, do this that many times.
A negative argument means move forward but still to a less deep spot.
