GThumb is the best image viewer for me as it has everything I need and nothing more. But it is VERY uncomfortable to use it for fast image search through folders. That is just because of PgUp/PgDown and Space/Backspace as a navigation keys.

I would like to change Next/Prev image shortcuts to left/right or up/down keys. I don't have a PgUp/PgDown on my notebook keyboard as a standalone keys. They are only available with Fn button, which sits on the left side of the keyboard, which makes it impossible to use one hand to navigate.

Space/Backspace is on some distance as well and I have to change my hand position from one I use to navigate through files in file manager. It is uncomfortable and annoying. I have to use standard GNOME image viewer for fast image search through folders and GThumb for the rest of image operations. Which is noncence as GThumb is powerful and fancy, but its devs decided that PgUp/PgDown and Space/Backspace will be OK for all users. And it is not OK.

So, I would love to have an option to change a keyboard shortcuts. At least finely documented and easy to understand config file. But GUI would be better, of course.
