Sending it to the correct list would truly help increasing it's

I actually appreciate the trend of gqview behaving the same way no
matter where I got the focus. I found it quite disturbing not to be able
to zoom/scroll via the keyboard if the focus was not on the picture
itself. And setting the focus to the picture was difficult, as a click
into the picture area advanced to the next picture already. Moving the
focus by TAB is also not that convenient as you don't really get visual
feedback when you reached the picture frame.

But if scrolling up/down by "pages" is really necessary, maybe a [SHIFT|
CTRL|ALT]-[PgDwn|PgUp] might make sense? It could be implemented with a
similar behavior as say Mozilla/Firefox to have people get used to it
quickly...
