Yes, thank you. After restarting shotwell, left/right arrows moved between
images.  Then if I click on the slider, they change to being zoom.  Even if
I press ctrl-0, then the slider remains in focus - I have to click outside
it to stop zooming and get prev/next behaviour.

It might be nice if the keyboard shortcuts were a little less modal,
although there might not be enough keys to go round for all these:

   prev/next image
   zoom in/out
   move up/down/left/right

However, when the slider has no focus, I notice that PgUp/PgDown don't do
anything. Would it be sensible to permanently assign those to prev/next
image (as they are in gthumb?)

In fact, playing around I find three different "modes":

* Slider has focus:
   -> L/R, U/D, PgU/PgD all perform zoom in/out function

* Slider has no focus, image is at smallest size to fit:
   -> L/R selects prev/next image, U/D and PgU/PgD ignored

* Slide has no focus, image is not at smallest:
   -> L/R/U/D move around image, PgU/PgD ignored

I'm not sure that this behaviour is entirely obvious.

Brian.
