Hello,
When testing shortcuts against this list:
http://wiki.openusability.org/guidelines/index.php/Appendices:Keyboard_Shortcuts
I didn't spot many conflicts (apart from one F3, more comments in proper
place) but many missing functionality.
List below apply only to Album view (main window, including Preview
mode). Image Editor review will follow later. Please comment about
style, readability, etc.
