The selected mark was at some child folder/file in treeview mode. If I want to quick select its parent folder I can use right arrow key. But, in KDE 4.8.2, Dolphin/Konqueror, when I press right arrow key, the upper item is highlighted. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View in Treeview mode 2. Expand a folder 3. select some its child folder/file not right under the parent folder 4. Press right arrow key Actual Results: The upper item is selected Expected Results: Its parent folder is selected
Sorry for my stupidity, I meant LEFT arrow key, NOT right. :(
Thanks for the report: Yes, this behavior is inconsistent to the default behavior when using Qt's treeviews. Internal notes: - Pressing "left" again should close the current folder if it is expanded - Pressing "left" should go to the parent folder if it is already collapsed

Frank, thanks for the patch! I did not try it yet but I think what is still missing is that the parent folder gets collapsed. For a reference behavior I've opened a file-dialog with a tree-view. But I can take care for this if you don't have time, please just let me know.

You have implemented this some time ago, see the first part of KItemListController:keyPressEvent(): https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/master/annotate/dolphin/src/kitemviews/kitemlistcontroller.cpp#L197
Hehe, I did not remember this at all ;-) Of course please go ahead to commit your patch then. Thanks!
