[Feature Request] Browse wallpapers via Directional Keys.

Hi all!

I'm aware that this request might seem odd to some, and I also don't know on the back-end how complicated it would be to implement with the current infrastructure, but I figured I'd shoot my shot regardless.

I like to take a look at the Toplist semi-regularly, typically around once per month to take a look at the latest wallpapers that would work for me as desktop backgrounds. (So 2560x1440 minimum w/16:9 aspect ratio)

Whilst looking at the results, I thought it would be very nice, when viewing any entry, to use the Directional Keys (Arrow Keys) to go left/right through the results while viewing any of the wallpapers, essentially navigating the results whilst viewing any of the contents' full views. Specifically, clicking on a wallpaper and pressing Left/Right would automatically load the next/previous wallpaper in the results.

I realize on a technical level, since once a wallpaper is selected it no longer references any lists/filters, that this might be very tricky and unnecessary to implement. Still, I just wanted to drop it as a suggestion to perhaps inspire a future site feature.

Thank you!

I do like your idea, to add arrow-key navigation to flip through Toplist wallpapers in full view would make browsing so much smoother, especially for some people would love to use it.

As a workaround, you could try enabling the "Open wallpapers in a new window" setting (under Settings). It lets you click through wallpapers without reloading the Toplist each time, though you’d still need to close each tab when done.

Your arrow-key idea would be much cleaner for quick browsing without extra windows or tabs, though it's a fantastic feature! I would definitely include that in the settings for some people, allowing them to enable or disable it based on who will use it.

this would be helpful when going through collections

This doesn't look necessary enough

I agree with you, it would be helpful..
