Description romu 2013-11-14 14:14:33 UTC 
I love gThumb!

When I display a photo, there is the thumbnails strip on the bottom and the previous/next buttons on the toolbar.

It would be very nice if gThumb could handle left/right arrow keys for the previous/next actions.

Proposed patch

The patch adds left/right keys as additional shortcuts to navigate to previous/next image in image viewer mode.
Comment 2 Paolo Bacchilega 2014-01-19 12:06:15 UTC 
Arrow keys are used to scroll the image when it doesn't fit the available space, you can use page down/page up to view the next/previous image.
Comment 3 Robert Roth 2014-01-19 19:03:44 UTC 
What about the option/having a plugin (if it's possible) to customize keys? I consider it counter-intuitive that having the thumbs on the bottom, with the currently shown image selected, the keys to navigate the thumbstrip are Page up/down instead of left, right, and based on this bug report, I'm not the only one.

I would really like to come up with a win-win solution, as gThumb is really amazing.
Comment 4 Paolo Bacchilega 2014-01-20 01:39:18 UTC 
In general I don't like the idea of an extension that changes the default behaviour of the application, they should only be used to add new features.

Anyway the Page up/Page down key-bindings are independent from the thumbnail bar, they are available even when the thumbnail bar is not visible.
