Key strokes

Post by Enfrance »

Is there a list of key strokes for the various types of actions in Dupe Cleaner?

I am using Image viewer and it would be very helpful if there is a key stroke for going to the next group of duplicates.

Here are some of the shortcuts:

Space - Mark selected file (or folder in Duplicate folder list)
CTRL-A - Select All
CTRL-T Select by text window
CTRL-L Select by Location window
CTRL-D Delete Window
ALT-F4 - exit
F1 - Help
F2 - Rename selected file in list
F3 - Image preview
F5 - refresh file list (remove files deleted externally)
F10 - More Options
ALT-R - View recycle bin
ALT-UP, ALT-DOWN - jump to next/previous Marked file in list

Extra keyboard shortcuts for the Image Preview browser are slated for v4.0.4

Thanks!

I checked the help file but not the manual.

Alt + Cursor-Left - Previous group
Alt + Cursor-Right - Next group
These are not at all intuitive shortcuts (I figured out Cursor-Left, Cursor-Right, and Space without needing a manual—but ALT??), and require either both hands or contortions of one hand.

In the Image Preview window there are only maybe five tasks a user would want to repeat over and over (next/previous image, select, and next/previous group). There are upwards of 100 keys on most keyboards. So it should be pretty easy to avoid combination key presses altogether, and accommodate users' preferred hand positions by allowing multiple keys to do one of the five tasks. Maybe something like...
  • Cursor-Up - Previous Group
    Cursor-Down - Next Group
    and
    Page-Up - Previous Group
    Page-Dn - Next Group
    and
    <any alphanumeric key above the home row> - Previous Group
    <any alphanumeric key below the home row> - Next Group

I too vote for this set of keystrokes to navigate image groups. Alt-"something" is cumbersome. I've used numerous other programs that have allowed the user to define their own shortcut keys for defined functions. Possibility here?
