[Reader] alternative default forward/backward key

Hi,
I switch computers very often, sometimes using shared PCs (don't ask me why)
so I tend to use incognito mode when reading Mangadex, sometimes without even logging in.

I really like the W,A,S,D keys to navigate the page, but the default keys to move between chapters (period and comma) are too far away for one hand.

So I would like to propose making the 'E' and 'Q' keys the default alternative keys to move to the next and previous chapters.

Thanks

You can set additional keybinds in reader settings. While in a chapter, open the right menu sidebar, scroll to the bottom and click the Reader Settings button, then navigate to the Keybinds category. You can press the + button and tap any key to set that key as an additional keybind. Personally, I have Q set to Offset Double Spreads and Z/C set to switch chapters.

Their problem is that they are using incognito/private browsing mode so none of that stuff will get persisted/saved between browser restarts. So they want MD to make a change to suit their preferences because they intentionally decided to do something that interrupts normal site functionality.

yeah, that's my problem.
sorry, I thought no one used those keys for anything else.

Arrow keys can also be used. Maybe those would fit you better?
I considered that, but they're still kinda far in 100% keyboard
(like I said, shared PCs, you won't see anything fancy...)

Also, up/down arrow only moves a few pixels compared to W/S,
and W/S feel smoother than Page up/down.
They're so perfect for reading long strips.

Z/C set to switch chapters.
that could also work
my wish is that mangadex can make it the default (somewhere close to W/A/S/D)
