Switch between photos using the arrow keys

Hello,

Is it possible to use the arrow keys to switch between photos in the content once one has been opened in full screen mode? Also by showing arrow buttons on the left and right side of the fullscreen view. 

For example, when i open a photo in the following article, it would be great, when switching by using the arrow keys and buttons is possible: https://www.linsenschuss.de/blog/Astrof ... Mondlicht/

This is images you have manually added into content, right? When added manually, the images aren't automatically aware of the "other" images that it should be grouped with, but this can be solved (see the "groups" section):
https://demo.photo.gallery/examples/plugins/popup/

For example, just add the following at the top of your content ...
Code
<div data-popup-container>
... and make sure to close the tag at the bottom of your content:
Code
</div>
By this, you are telling the app that all popup references within the tag are the same group, which may in turn be navigated when one is opened.

Hi Karl,

Your reading works great, just as desired. Thank you!

Do you think this could be standardized somehow, so that it is standard for all posts? 

Perhaps in the future through a global setting -> Switch through all images in the respective folder Yes/No

Perhaps, although the content section is generally something self-managed, although you can use various codes available (like the popup features). If you really need persistent grouped popups, then maybe you could add a simple global Javascript.
