Ristretto with keyboard/mouswheel navigation (xfce image viewer)

i've always liked xfces lightweight image viewer ristretto, but there were always two things which annoyed me:

1. no keyboard navigation
2. rolling the mousewheel over displayed image just zooms in/out

so today i finally took the sources and changed some lines:

1. navigate to previous/next image with leftarrow / H and rightarrow / L
2. scrolling the mousewheel over current image navigates to previous/next image
3. ctrl + mousewheel to zoom

maybe one of you finds this useful

Thank you very much!

Just what I was missing in Ristretto, now I can leave the mouse for what it is.

Some applications are WYSIWYG, and some are WYSIWTF.

Great job! That was exactly what I was missing in ristretto .

to be honest, i just had to add about 8 lines of code

damn, i forgot about scrolling when the displayed image is larger than the display area.

anyone got a suggestion on how to handle this?
