Well this doesn't prove my idea is wrong - key shorcuts as suggested by
me will do for browsing maps same good as for digitizing.

I'm suggesting an ergonomic, IMO, key shortcuts set.

All those are for browsing 1 page (say photos) or one dimensional
(documents) data sets. Spatial data is 2d at least and requires special
treatment of course. This is to provide smooth navigation and zoom/pan
simultonanously.
