Description Maugre 2022-05-16 23:04:35 UTC

SUMMARY
Since the space/backspace shortcuts were removed, there's no default shortcut for next/previous image. This is useful for e.g. comparing two different versions of an image in place (same zoom/position).

I suggest , and . keys (also < and >) as they're also previous/next frame in mpv and YouTube. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open image in a folder containing multiple images
2. Press space/backspace (previous shortcuts)

OBSERVED RESULT
No effect

EXPECTED RESULT
Change to next/previous image

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For a long time I didn't realise I can set custom shortcuts as the "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts..." item was in a menu that wasn't displayed until I pressed Ctrl+M, which wasn't obvious to me. Maybe this could be in dialog opened by the "Configure Gwenview..." button on toolbar?

yes there is, left/right arrow goes previous/next. The shortcut editor doesn't reflect that though

Not if zoom is anything other than "Fit" or 100% if it's smaller than the window. That's my use-case when comparing two versions of a design document in place, or thinking of my dad (an amateur photographer) who might want to compare a feature within two photos.
