Browser window. Quick keyboard move key is missing

[Blue_Nature]

When I am looking in the browser, Sometimes I find a picture that I want to keep.
Therefore I want it to move it to another directory.
This is only possible by right click, find the right entry, click on it etc. Takes a lot of time and is not very user-friendly.

Unfortunately in this browser window is no keybindings available like in the other window if I double click on an image (no idea what this enlarged window is called).
But double click, move (I changed the keybinding to a single 'm' and esc is a bit too much if I have to browse through 5000 images.

Any idea how to do this efficiently.
This procedure is also know as culling of images.
(taking a few seconds of images at 20fps will fill up the card space in the camera - and only a few are good enough to keep).

I used fastimageviewer in windows11, and in that program this procedure is quite efficient. Click twice 'm' for a move from a browser window.

Anyway, anyone any idea?

You are mistaken, you CAN define keybindings in the browser window, just like you can for the Viewer window (the Viewer is the window you get when you double-click an image.)

Go to Tools->Settings->Interface:Shortcuts

At the top of that window, just to the left of the entry field that says "Filter" is a small drop-down menu. That menu selects Browser or Viewer. Select Browser and you are setting shortcuts in the browser window.

The "Move" shortcuts defaults to Alt-M in the Browser window just like it does in the Viewer window.

You want efficiency, but your culling method seems inefficient. I would Rate or Color all the target images first, then filter for those images and move them all at once at the end, or delete the ones you don't want (which is what the word culling actually means). You can bind a shortcut key to rate with a certain number of stars and go to next image. That and the right arrow key is all you need to move through your images.

The ability to quickly rate or color with one-click and minimal mouse movement using an overlay on the thumbnail (like you can in Lightroom and other programs) has been requested but not implemented. Because of this, XnViewMP is not as efficient at culling as Lightroom or other programs.
