[ADDED] A key to switch layers

Hi,

in S3D in the preview window there are 'only' these two buttons (with arrow left and arrow right) to move to previous/next layer.
So you can only use the mouse to move forward / backward in layers which is not very comfortable in my opinion.
I prefer a keyboard key like arrow up / arrow down to move between layers.

Thanks!

Having everything controllable from keyboard would be very nice.

Re: A key to switch layers

This feature has now been added in Version 4.0 along with many other improvements to the preview window. You can see a full list of all the changes in the preview towards the middle of this page:

You can now type an exact layer or line to jump to, or put your cursor in that field and use the keyboard up/down to change the layers in the preview.

This definitely makes it much easier to precisely control the preview, so thanks for the great suggestion!
