If you click on an image in digiKam the image is displayed in full size, and below is a list with images.

I'ts only possible to select the images in the list with the mouse, the arrow keys don't work.
But I think its useful to use the arrow keys to navigate through the list, and it shouldn't be complicated to implement it..

You can also use space and backspace, which seems to be a standard across different image viewers.
Comment 2 andreas_b123 2009-10-25 12:55:51 UTC 
But I think the arrows are more comfortable than backspace and space, because I use the keys to sort my images.

To use left arrow, right arrow and delete is very easy, but for space, backspace and delete I need both hands;-)

And I think it should be easy to implement...

I just took a look at other image viewers (gwenview, f-spot, gqview etc.). None of them uses the arrow keys for navigating between images. Instead they are used to scroll in a zoomed image. So I would rather argue to use the arrow keys for scrolling, what's also not possible right now. But that's only my opinion.
Comment 4 Johannes Wienke 2009-10-25 19:08:09 UTC 
What about the others? Any opinions?
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2009-10-25 19:17:09 UTC 
For me the current behavior is enough. But it's just my viewpoint...

Comment 6 Johannes Wienke 2009-10-25 19:19:33 UTC 
Gilles, what about scrolling using the arrow keys? That seems to be widely used.
Comment 7 Joe Biden 2009-10-29 04:50:43 UTC 
Why not just Page up and Down? Many use that as well...
Comment 8 Johannes Wienke 2009-10-29 12:40:11 UTC 
It is already possible to use page up and down. Andreas, is that enough for you?
Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2011-12-16 11:21:28 UTC 
Andreas, 

Do you see comment #8 from Johannes ?

See my comment :

technically, left/right key to navigate over thumb-bar items work fine in 2.6.0
