I asked them how to pan in the image. Both used the arrows and were 
surprised when I told them they could also use page up / page down.

Page Up/Down are not the really relevant keys I think. The more relevant 
keys are the arrow keys, because most people tend to use these.

Furthermore in the fullscreen mode the arrow keys already move to the 
next image.

So basically it boils down to two questions.

1. Should we add the arrow keys as shortcuts for prev/next image if the 
image is fully visible?
2. What to do with page up / down
   a) As currently. Only do scrolling of a image
   b) Only do prev/next image
   c) prev/next image when whole image visible otherwise scroll

BTW Did you try the patch to feel how it works?
