Description Bastian Ilsø 2018-01-19 14:25:01 UTC 
It could be nice if Eye of GNOME's sidepane could be shown/hidden using the F9 keyboard button. It's a common pattern seen in other GNOME apps such as Nautilus, Gedit and Builder.

Ah, I haven't noticed that yet. But it's a good idea.

    EogApplication: Switch keyboard shortcuts for sidebar and gallery
    
    This makes eog behave the same as other GNOME apps like Nautilus,
    GNOME Builder and gedit.

This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
