If you start a slideshow of the set, you can browse it using the left/right keys. Works best if you pause it first.

There are a number of keyboard shortcuts for the slideshow.
Click "Help" in the top right of the slideshow and you'll see them all.

I second the idea proposed. It would be useful if just pressing ENTER when the mouse cursor is hovering over a thumbnail on flickr. (I'm not sure why Microsoft never built a feature like directly into Windoze, "accessibility options" notwithstanding).

yeah. +1 on the arrows navigating through a photostream / set / or group. Based on the context you're in the arrow L / R would be really helpful for laptop users.

Yup, great idea. I do find myself doing this sometimes and wondering why it doesn't work (as it's available on so many other sites)

How often do people interact with this site via slideshow vs. simply browsing streams? I never do, but I bet it can be measured!
Why not add it regardless? It's a usability improvement, and given the ascendancy of Facebook and its associated interactions becoming commonplace interactive vernacular, Flickr is lagging.

I support this idea. All other similar sites have this feature, and we don't want Flickr to be left behind!

I'd also like to see this implemented. Most of my friends are not Flickr users and I've noticed the average person has a hard time navigating Flickr's system.
-Most people try using the keyboard keys to go back and forth between images.
-The slideshow button is too small and not obvious to many.
-Users get confused clicking between the next/back thumbnail previews, especially when there's one for a set, right above the photo stream. They don't know where they are.
I've seen these issues time and time again. As avid Flickr users, we know how to navigate the system, but many do not.

Every other photo site I use (Facebook, Picassa, SmugMug) has this feature. As a paying member of Flickr, I'm almost embarrassed to have my photos on a site that doesn't allow navigation by the arrow keys!

Yes, as long as it's obvious what one is navigating through.
For example, what do I do if I get to a photo via a group and then decide I want to navigate through some set the photo happens to belong to? What happens if I'm navigating through someone's photostream, and then I expand the thumbnail browser for a group some particular photo happens to be in?

Seconded, I'd love to be able to navigate using left and right arrow keys when in single photo view (not only when in slideshow). It's a super-intuitive feature that most other sites have now, and I too was surprised that the feature hasn't been incorporated yet. Thanks!

Also, it'd be nice if the "Browse" button would simply open maybe ten photos around the current photo instead of opening another page.

Personally, I expect the arrow keys to scroll the page when I press them, not jump to a different page.
If you open a facebook photopage in a small enough window such that there is a horizontal scrollbar, hitting left or right both scrolls the page and changes the page at the same time - madness.

As the FAQ points out, the new photo page lets you use the arrow keys to browse: www.flickr.com/help/general/#1567038
If you have comments about this implementation, for now please head over to the help forum: www.flickr.com/help/forum/
