Hi Andreas,

Thanks for testing this out ;-)

Arrow keys are forwarded to the active page - i.e. the "home" screen, the 
category page, or the thumbnail view.
The category page has a vertical list, and therefore no action when left/right 
is pressed.

Now I just need to implement different modes :-)

Good point. I've slightly tweaked the situation by selecting the first item 
(if nothing is already selected). This way there is a visual indication of 
what will be selected when pressing enter. (Commit 7a10e4bb)
