How to "got to previous/next selected image"

Forums:

Hi, I have a question to more advanced users:
I'm using standard selection mode (NOT Advanced selection mode).
My problem:
I'm selecting in Grid mode for example two not consecutive images, e.g. image 1 and image 5.
I'm switchting with key "G" to single image mode and get image 1 displayed.
How can I move to the NEXT SELECTED image 5, without going back to Grid mode, highlighting image 5 and pressing "G" again?
The background is that I want to inspect two or more not consecutive selected images just by pressing any key. If I'm using the left / right cursor I'm always getting the next image left or right, independent if it is selceted or not.
I cannot find any setting for this.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks and regards,
Uwe

You can select images, open

You can select images, open 'Sort&Filter' panel (main menu -> 'Panels' -> 'Sort/Filter files'; or F8), and check 'Selected'.

Thanks, but I don't

Thanks, but I don't understand how it helps to view the next selected file in Single file mode.

For instance, there is a key command Ctrl+Alt+right to show in Single file mode the "+2 files" image.
I'm looking for a key command to show the next selected file in Single file mode.

Ok, may be I understand.

Ok, may be I understand. After checking "selected" I only see the selected files and can then use the arrow keys, of course.
That might be a workaround, but I always need the additional check/uncheck of "selected" in the filter, if I want to select another set of images for inspection.
Would it be possible to implement a key command for "show the next selected file" like Ctrl+Alt+right/left" to show the "+/-2 files" image?
