I have (I thought) konqueror configured to show me the detailed listing of directories. It mostly works, but if I hit the "up" arrow to go to a parent directory, it suddenly switches to icons instead of the detailed list (even
if
I was in the parent before, in detailed list view, and then went to a child directory, and then hit "up").
How can I stop this from happening?

What's up Doc
Your mission, should you decide to accept it...
Ok go to konqueror, settings, file associations, inode, directory. Click on embedded and them move Detailed List View to the top. I personally use Tree View same thing but gives you the ability to open directories without having to click into them.
Do the above for both directory and system_directory
Hit apply, then ok, then close out all konq sessions and give it ago.
Remember that, if you save a profile with icons or another kind of it, it will default to how you saved.
As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
This email will self-destuct in five seconds.
Good luck Doc.

Just to be complete for anyone who finds this later while trying to solve the same problem, that is actually: konqueror | Settings | Configure Konqueror | File Associations | inode | directory
Click on embedded and them move Detailed List View to the top.
Amazing!!
How did anyone ever discover that?
I have been using KDE/TDE since 2001, with konqueror as my file manager in all that time, and this was news to me (unless I knew long ago and completely forgot it, which is, I have to admit, unfortunately, a possibility).

All seems to work. Perfect! Made my day :-)

Yes, I sort-of-vaguely understand how profiles work. Although since all I ever really use konqueror for is managing files, I generally don't have to mess with them. But thank you for the reminder.

Fortunately, it failed to self-destruct, so I had time to read it a couple of times :-) I even had time to tag it red in Thunderbird, in case I ever need to look up how to do this.

I think it was either Ali of BigDaddy fame, or Slavek of just being famous or both who told me.I'm just relaying the info with comedic style.
This, good people, was just a group effort.
Proof, once again, of the open collective's power.

That's indeed a buried nugget,
Strange though, I use "tree view" as well, and I do not recall ever having to change a thing. Is this something unique for Doc's detailed view? Generally when I set the view I want and then
Settings -> Save View Profile "File Management"
everything is saved in one of the share/config/konquerorrc (or individual konqlistviewrc, etc..) config files.

Indeed. I can't imagine how anyone ever figured that one out. I was suitably impressed.

Yes; that's what I had done, and, based on past experience, expected it to always show the detailed view. That's why I was really puzzled when simply pressing the Up button suddenly switched out of detailed view; I really can't remember having that problem before. Maybe I'm special :-)

Or just very talented with the arrow-keys.... :p
I just went and tried again just to be sure. With tree view open in both the navigation pane (left) and the file pane (right) and can place focus in either and up-arrow, down-arrow and it just goes to the next file or directory.
Have you set any special settings related to your keyboard?? (I can't think of what it would be other than changing the mapping so that up/down arrow is seen as something else) I even have focus-follows-mouse which conceivably could put focus over the menu or icon-bar, but focus always remains in one of the panes when using konqueror.
So the game is still afoot...

Up button on icon-bar works as expected in either pane as well. Just jump to the next higher directory.

That was the one that wasn't working right and led to my original posting.
