ESC Key behavior

Post by YannC »

Hi, When I view an image in XNView and then press the ESC key, I would expect to go back to the list of images in the image parent folder. But instead, I get another image displatey from a different folder.
Could you add an option to configure the ESC key to go back to the image parent folder?
Pressing the ENTER key does this but it makes more sense to me to use ESC as in most of other software.
Cheers, Yann

set 'Maximum of view tabs' to 1 in Settings>Interface>Tabs
