Feature Request: Shortcut Keys for Annotating Multiple Images in Annotate-Lab

[sumn2u]

Description: Users often need to annotate multiple images in bulk, which can include thousands of images in a single session. Currently, to move to the next image, users must manually click on it from the list. This can be time-consuming, especially when working with large datasets. Implementing keyboard shortcuts to navigate between images would significantly improve the workflow and efficiency.

Proposed Feature: Introduce keyboard shortcuts to:

• Navigate to the next image (Arrow Right key).
• Navigate to the previous image (Arrow Left key).
• Automatically save annotations and move to the next image when a specific shortcut key is pressed (e.g., Ctrl + Enter or Cmd + Enter).
• Provide a quick shortcut to mark an image as annotated or verified.

Benefits:

• Enhanced user experience for annotating large datasets.
• Reduced time and effort required to move between images.
• Improved accessibility for users who prefer keyboard navigation.

Request: If this feature already exists, kindly guide us on how to enable or use the shortcuts. If not, we would like to request this for future updates.
