Intuitive default keyboard shortcuts needed

[Juha Siltala]

Binary package hint: fbreader

Starting to read a text in fbreader on my netbook, the first thing i did was trying to fullscreen the application and see how to scroll down to "next page". My intuition came from web browsers and failed.

Scrolling down (called "large skip" in fbreader) is only bound to PgDn. On my Eeepc, it requires me to press Fn+Down. My intuition told me to try the Space key.

Fullscreen toggle was not bound to anything I could discover (f, F11 or Ctrl+f). The function exists so I was eventually able to bind it to F11.

I suggest we should bind these (and possibly others I haven't thought about yet) to defaults similar to web browsers.

I agree with you on this. Defaulting to the same as any of the other applications on Ubuntu seems much saner to me.

BTW, full screen is enter.

I agree as well. I'm here after using fbreader for 2 minutes. This is a must.

I could not find any documentation about the existing keybindings.

And the limited documentation is on a website. Not very helpful when travelling.

Fyi, the default key bindings are defined in:

/usr/share/FBReader/default/keymap.xml

Which btw does not define an exit action ...
