Full screen

In Gallery, Enter or Space opens photos in full screen: the photo fills the screen, the arrow keys browse the folder, and Esc or Enter takes you back to Gallery at the last photo shown. The mouse wheel and the mouse's “back” and “forward” buttons browse too; holding down an arrow key moves through the folder, showing every photo.

• With two photos selected, they appear side by side.
• With more selected, they're shown one at a time, and the arrow keys browse only the selected ones.
• If the selection includes anything other than photos, Enter opens the files as usual.

Comparing photos. Shift+arrow splits the screen: the current photo stays on the left, the adjacent one appears on the right, and further Shift+arrow presses, like Shift+wheel, browse the right one. ← or → without Shift keeps the left or the right photo on screen.

Photo bar. A bar is always visible at the bottom of the photo (of each photo in a pair), under the loupe too: the file name and sharpness score on top, and below them the stars, color labels, and helper buttons. The histogram, when turned on, sits in the corner of the photo.

• Digits 1–5 set the rating and 0 clears it; in a pair, for the photo under the mouse.
• Delete moves the photo to the Recycle Bin and shows the next one.
• Ctrl+Z undoes a rating or a deletion.
• Z turns on the 1:1 loupe without a mouse button, and you move around the frame with the mouse; press Z again to turn it off. While the pointer is hidden, the loupe goes to the sharpest spot of the photo or to the camera's focus point; you choose which in “Settings” → “View” → “Gallery”.
• Ctrl+wheel zooms in steps, as in the Preview pane; the zoom level is shown next to the name on the bar. While a photo is zoomed in, the arrow keys browse the folder and keep the same spot of the frame, and Ctrl+arrows move the zoomed view (in a pair, both halves). You can swap their roles in the same place, with “Arrow keys when zoomed in full screen”.
• Hold Alt to see the frame without helper overlays.
