If you show the image in a separate window, then it doesn't make sense to 
change that while traversing the filelist with the keyboard, IMHO. What if 
the size of the image changes and the image window has to be resized and/or 
moved? Suddenly, the image window might cover the filebrowser and your focus 
is lost.

Isn't it better to use the preview built into the filebrowser, that updates 
automatically when the current file changes? That one is scaled to the 
available space and so never covers the fileview.

Hmm, indeed. Those are KActions, while the others are plain KAccel items (and 
the config-dialog takes only the KAccel into account. I'll fix that.
