Option to assign keyboard shortcut for Previous/Next

I really like this idea. As a memo to myself, or anyone else who want's to try this out, here is the keypress handler from jquery (http://api.jquery.com/keypress/) and some code from John Resig (jquery author) to bind hotkeys: http://github.com/jeresig/jquery.hotkeys/blob/master/jquery.hotkeys.js

So here it is, in all it's simplicity. 9 lines of code without braces and comments. You gotta love jquery. :)

This is only enabled if the navigator is shown. I think this makes sense, as otherwise people probably don't want to have any way to go to the previous or next item.

Sweet. Committed to dev, sorry for the delay, it got buried in my inbox. Thanks @scroogie.

hi. im not sure if it makes sense to reopen this issue now, but... this keyboard navigation is maybe useful, but it should be possible to turn it off.. In current implementation node gallery displays next image even while typing comment - in text area under the image. pretty annoying... you are typing comment, wnat to change something, press arrow and whooops, you are on next page, great.

It's because the event is bound to the whole document. It could be bound to the image or wrapper element only, but then people have to focus that first before the shortcuts works. Otherwise we could of course exclude any inputs.

At this point, I won't be adding new features to the D6 version. If features are wanted for D7, please post a new issue.
