GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 142938
Add keyboard access to Back and Forward control to Slideshow Controls
Last modified: 2005-03-20 14:27:42 UTC
Select a number of images. Click on the Slide Show button. Move the mouse. Now, a small number of slideshow controls will appear: "Restore Normal View", "Image Info", "Back" and "Forward". Right now, it requires mouse movement to use these Back and Forward controls. Both for reasons of accessability and efficiency, it should be possible to use the Left (Back) and Right (Forward) arrow keys to activate these two controls. When the slide show is paused (see Bug #142933), the arrow keys should _not_ unpause the slide show. With the show paused, and using the right and left arrow keys, it would be much easier to compare two sequential photos. My camera, for example, makes it possible to "bracket" a shot. This means that it records three images of the same subject. The first is underexposed by one stop, the second is "automatically" exposed and the third is overexposed by one stop. The pause function in combination with these arrow keys and the delete function (see Bug #142934) would make it very easy to quickly keep the best exposed of these three images and to delete the other two.

thanks for the patch, however left and right arrows are used to scroll the image so cannot be used for another operation too.
But While during the slideshow the left and right keys doesn't work now.
