Research direction
Start by locating Xreader's keyboard shortcut definitions and the handlers for zooming, page navigation, arrow keys, and space. Compare the existing mappings with the requested single-key behavior, then define and test a consistent shortcut scheme covering zoom and page advancement.

Description
* Xreader 2.02
* Distribution - Mint 19.1
Issue
Most keyboard shortcuts defined in the application are either function keys or control combinations. Many are not intuitive.
Expected behaviour
In a classic editor, typing a letter key enters that letter and typing an arrow moves the cursor one position in the appropriate direction. Because this application is a viewer for paginated content, it should utilize simple key presses for common tasks. Letters and arrows do not need to be reserved for editing functions. Currently, these key presses are ignored.
Changing zoom level should be controlled simply by key presses for + or -. Advancing or regressing the page should be possible with a single press to an arrow, with the former also possible simply by pressing space. A reader is most used for a distraction-free vehicle for viewing content supplied by another source, and there is no reason why advancing the page requires more effort than pressing a single key.
