I was unaware of this until I just tested it, but [Control] + PageUp/Down does
seem to allow paging within the file list. I can't seem to remember if this was
intentional or an accident :)

Space/Backspace only works to change the image when the image has the focus
(Space is also needed to allow multiple selection in the file list). When the
image has focus you can even use [N] for next and [B] for back.
