Open file in Fullscreen, custom hotkeys, upper level dir

Since 2001 'til now I have been using ACDsee 32 v 3.x just because no other program had same speed, well designed and intuitive user interface, plus, support for <descript.ion> files.
Time goes by and you need support for newer file types and options, that's where xnview came in.
I have some suggestions for the author (and will buy the program) if:
- Enable default fullscreen view, as an option, when opening an image from browser
- Allow customizing of hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts: for example in AcDsee I could simply change file view in the browser selecting F8 (thumbs view) and F12 (detailed view). Powerful, and missing a lot this.
- Allow as an option in the browser, to show upper level directory in the file list as ".."; Very powerful, you can just use arrows and enter key to navigate up and down folders

I think you can change behaviour using
HotkeyP, but I've never tried myself. Dreamer is our hotkey specialist and can tell.

One point here: when using "embedded thumbs", you gain speed, but rotated jpegs are shown unrotated; if yous disable this, and let XV to rebuild thumbs, orientation is correct but thumbs creation gets very slow on RAW/NEFs...

Hello,
FI: If the case is :"...when opening an image from
Xnview browser" then, you have just to press the middle mouse buttun on a thumbnail

What if you want to use the keyboard, without pressing F11? So simple, the author should consider this option....
