[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.

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!
