Get all keys or values of a nested dictionary or list in Python

First, great job! Thanks.

Then, a follow up question (of course):
Is it possible to modify the function so it returns keys (for example) while maintaining their hierarchy/order?

For example:
emps = {'emp1': {'name': 'Abe', 'position': {'office':'Mgr'},'home':'tenant'}, 'emp2': {'name': 'Bom', 'position': {'office':'Mgr'},'home':'tenant'}}

for i in iterate_all(emps): print(i)

returns:
emp1 name position office home emp2 name position office home

Can it return instead
emp1
emp1/name
emp1/position
emp1/position/office
emp1/position/home
emp2
emp2/name
emp2/position
emp2/position/office
emp2/position/home

Sometime the position of an element in the tree is important; that's why I'm asking.

Thanks.

def get_keys(dictionary):
    result = []
    for key, value in dictionary.items():
        if type(value) is dict:
            new_keys = get_keys(value)
            result.append(key)
            for innerkey in new_keys:
                result.append(f'{key}/{innerkey}')
        else:
            result.append(key)
    return result

Very useful thanks!

I used @mh-malekpour code and added support for objects that are nested inside of arrays.

def generic_items(dict_or_list):
	if type(dict_or_list) is dict:

def get_keys(dictionary):
	result = []
	for key, value in generic_items(dictionary):

			result.append(key)
			for innerkey in new_keys:
				result.append(f'{key}/{innerkey}')
		else:
			result.append(key)
	return result
