I can't configure gwenview to toggle Browse/View by pressing "Enter" key. I tried to add "Enter" as keyboard shortcut for Browse (seehttp://yfrog.com/j1gwenbug1p), but it doesn't works. I received message http://yfrog.com/jdgwenbugp

The idea of the Enter key in Gwenview is to increase the "level of detail": With Enter you go from Browse -> View -> Fullscreen. You can go the other way (Fullscreen -> View -> Browse) by pressing Escape.

This means you can toggle between Browse and View by pressing Enter to go to View and Escape to go back to Browse. Is it good enough for you?

Thanks for your answer.

It's not good enough for me. My favorite picture viewer in Windows is XnView and I want to configure Gwenview closer to it. Actualy, many other image viewer also can toggle view modes by "Enter" key. Esc must be quit.

Now, it's very hard for me to use this viewer without mouth, cause behavior of keys is unexpected.

So, Gwenview is the best viewer if I use mouth and something killing me if i don't do that.

The enter key now does toggle between View and Browse modes as of at least Gwenview 16.12.3.
