SUMMARY
Time and again I browse through a hierarchy of folders, most often to view
photo albums. That means I either have to click through a tree view in a
sidebar with the mouse, or when I only use the keyboard, go one folder level
up, select the next one and press enter (in Gwenview) or – in Dolphin’s
detailed view – press left to select the folder, left again to close it, go
down to the next folder and right to open it. Due to
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426716, being on a Touchpad is not very
practical and on a touch screen the user cannot scroll on a breadcrumb item at
all.
We already have a “Go up” action. So I propose two new related actions: go to
previous sibling folder and go to next sibling folder. The Icon could be
double-arrow left/right (i.e. the skip symbols from a media player), and the
default keyboard shortcut something like Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right (unfortunately,
Alt+Left/Right, which would better fit together with Alt+Up for “Go to parent”,
is already taken). I got this idea yesterday when I was using Ranger, the
vim-like terminal file manager, which provides [ and ] to do what I just
described.
