Keyboard arrow navigation in folder

Andrew Funkhouser

It would be amazing to use the arrows on my keyboard to quickly go through photos or videos once i'm in a folder - that's how I usually quickly preview things in finder

Amazing!! It's working! I'm so stoked. If you want to make it even better, as of right now the thumbnail/metadata on the right doesn't update as you navigate via keyboard - that would super helpful.

Andrew Funkhouser: cheers Andrew! We'll look at having that preview panel autoupdate with keyboard nav. For now, in column view, you can press "Enter" which will open that preview panel for you

Heya Andrew, just to let you know - we released v1.2.9 a couple of days ago and it has keyboard navigation now! Thanks for reminding us how important that feature was! Let us know if it works for you :)

Heya Andrew - totally hear you and agree! This is going to sound kind of stupid, but arrow key navigation is (for some reason) much harder than it sounds to implement because of the filenode structure / multi column / multi-view layout of DriveVault. It is definitely on our roadmap and something we actively want to integrate in the future - watch this space!
