I will implement the interface changes, though. Before we go to the
changes, a list of the current behavior (I omitted File and Edit
operations) just for reference:
Direct key commands
Enter: next image
Backspace: previous image
+, =: zoom in
-: zoom out
Space: toggle slideshow
Esc: stop slideshow + exit fullscreen + cancel selection
Del: delete image
Cursor: move image
Shortcuts
Alt f: fullscreen mode
Alt +: zoom in
Alt -: zoom out
Alt Up/Down: next/previous image
Alt Left/Right: multi-image navigation: prev/next page (for TIFF?)
Shift Alt Left/Right: multi-image navigation: first/last page
Alt [: rotate counterclockwise
Alt ]: rotate clockwise
Mouse
LMB: select region
MMB: move image
RMB: popup menu / move selected region
Wheel: scroll image vertically
The planned changes are:
Direct key commands
Down/Right: next image
Up/Left: previous image
New behavior I would recommend:
Shift+Cursor: move image
Alt+Return: toggle fullscreen (learned behavior from some Windows
programs - maybe other platforms, too?)
Shortcuts
I strongly recommend changing the Rotate shortcuts; on German keyboards
Alt+[ and Alt+] are unselectable (unless I'm doing something wrong here
or it's VMWare). This also goes for Alt+{, Alt+} and Alt+\; all these
keys are accessed with the right Alt key, but this prevents selection
with the left Alt key. This information should go into a UI style guide,
I think.
Anyway, my proposal:
Alt r: rotate clockwise
Alt Shift r: rotate counter-cw
(If there's disagreement about the proper direction for plain rotation
with "Alt r", please just the votes - I'll count 'em & the majority has
it.)
Mouse
LMB, MMB, RMB: unchanged
Wheel: zoom image; wheel up zooms in, down zooms out
+Shift: scroll vertical
+Alt or Ctrl: scroll horizontal
I hope I didn't miss anything. I'll implement the changes when the votes
are in and any possible discussions have quieted down.
