Finer control

[kaihendry]

Sometimes when i am moving between lots of images and hold down space, the events queue up and then when i lift the space bar it carries on for a few images. any suggestions to get this a bit finer?

I've seen this behaviour with big images and/or on slow computers. The quickest work-around would be to make sxiv to listen on key-release events instead of key-press events. But this would only render this issue impossible to come up while greatly reducing the usability, because all key-repeats would get ignored.
I haven't come up with a proper approach to resolve this issue. And I have to admit that it is not a high priority for me.

Couldn't just let this go. Does commit fd519ff fix this for you?

Fantasic, indeed it works far better compared to sxiv 1.0!
