Use keyboard arrow keys for next/previous image [solved]

In addition to the icons to the left and right, it would be nice if the keyboard arrow keys moved to the next and previous image.

If a hand is next to the keyboard it is easier to find the arrow keys than to adjust the pointer to the correct spot. Switching direction (or alternating between two images) is also easier as it doesn't require a significant repositioning.

(Thank for DonChori for making me think of this by posting the "next image arrow" suggestion.)

Hello,

This is implemented 🙂

One problem I had with this is when I wrote a comment on a change request. While I have selected the comment text field and I wanted to use the arrow key to move my cursor to correct something the picture I looked at to verify the picture quality pops up.

Can this behaviour be blocked as long as a text field is selected?

Hello Idolenz, the issue is fixed.

I'm glad the editing issue was fixed, and I'm very glad you implemented my suggestion for the arrow keys. It makes comparing coins with keyboard only much easier: <arrow><alt-tab><arrow> to see the other side of two coins in side-by-side windows.

 

Thank you for the change, and for the rest of the work you do on Numista.
