I'm trying out the Beta & I found the 1:1 preview useful for checking sharpness.

I use the arrow keys to advance to the next image while in 1:1 view and the mouse to move the loupe to check sharpness in diff parts of the image. I'm right-handed & using my left hand to work the keyboard and right hand to work the mouse ... it's rather awkward.

Is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to move the loupe around the frame?

Click to expand...

But ... but ... I'll still have to use the mouse :(

I want to use just the keyboard ... no mouse.

I am using the arrow keys to progress image to image now ... that's good.

But I only know how to move the loupe (that rectangle thingy in the navigator panel) using the mouse. Can I move the loupe using keystrokes ... no mouse?

Ah ha! Found it!

Victoria ... actually the space bar by itself just toggles the view from full-image view to 1:1 view. When in 1:1 view, I discovered that pgup & pgdn will move the loupe up & down & if combined with the shift key, pgup & pgdn will move the loupe left/right :)

hehehe why isn't in the shortcuts page?? hope this helps others too :)

Not sure why it isn't in the shortcuts list, but it is set up so you can start in say the top left corner and use the Pgdn/up to just continue all across the image it will shift to the next 'column' by itself. You can cover a whole image that way to look for spots or whatever.

Holding shift and doing Pgdn/up will take you by rows with it auto going to the next row as you continue, just the same.

Well done KC. I'd forgotten about that!

Page up/down are on the shortcuts sheet, but shift-page up/down isn't, so I'll add those!

here's another cool one I just tripped over ... with caps on, the pgup/dn keys toggle to left/right ... no need to use the shift key :)
