Image Forward

Download extension

Easily cycle through images on a page or images linked from a page. Inspired by parts of Opera 12's Fast Forward.Image Forward
=============

A webextension to easily go through images embedded on or linked from a web page.

Note for Chrome
---------------

Keyboard shortcuts are not automatically set up. You need to do that manually on the extension page in settings. These are the default ones:

- Abort cycling through images and go back to page of origin: Ctrl+Shift+B
- Show first/next image embedded in page: Ctrl+Shift+Space
- Show first/next image linked from page: Ctrl+Space

Example
-------


If you are on `page_one` that contains 3 images, you can press `Ctrl-Shift-Space` to load `image_one` as if you had right clicked it and chosen `View Image`. Press again and `image_two` is loaded (without having to go back to `page_one` and click on it), again and `image_three` is loaded. One more press will bring you back two `page_one`. At any time you could have pressed `Ctrl-Shift-B` to go straight back to `page_one`. Images are only loaded if they are bigger than what's configured in the add-on's options, otherwise they are skipped. A real example where you can do this is http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/.


Similarly, if you are on `page_two` that links to a bunch of images, you can press `Ctrl-Space` to load first `image.jpg`, then `image.png` and then go back to `page_two`. The images that are loadable are determined by a regular expression that you can configure in the options. Add `tiff` to also load any tiff image or match any page that you want to load. An example where this works is https://www.reddit.com/r/wallpaper which however contains many links to pages instead of images, so you have to check out the options.

Due to conflicts, you can use `Alt-Shift-Space` and `Alt-Space` instead of the default shortcuts to load images on Mac and `Ctrl-Shift-X` to go back in Windows.
