@querty12 - Thank you for the shortcut list. The version of evince I was playing with was your most recent update (maemo1)

Here are issues I've found with my testing:
1. Upon app start, I get an error message "Unable to open document Error opening file: No such file or directory". Pressing "Close" button fixes this issue. Would like to instead have either no doc loaded at start or previous doc at start. Or perhaps load previous doc at start unless it does not exist, then load nothing.

2. There are three screen modes:
2a. Doc view with Maemo header on top and Evince toolbar below.
2b. Doc view with Evince toolbar on bottom (I believe this is what you are referring to as "full screen mode")
2c. Doc view only (called "presentation mode"?) Reached by tapping gold medal with blue ribbon icon while in mode 2b.
I'd really like to see view 2b go away or as an alternative, remove the Evince toolbar in view 2b and remove view 2c. I agree with you in that the usability in view 2b is better (on screen panning, zooming, and page turning all work right now exactly the way I think they should). That Evince toolbar just wastes far too much screen real estate, especially when reading in portrait mode. Please do keep <ctrl> + <enter> as the shortcut to toggle full screen mode.

3. (minor) Is it possible to put the keyboard shortcuts in the "About" screen? Add a third button below "Credits" and "License"? This may save new users from asking over and over again.

Don't forget keyboard shortcut <ctrl> + "p" (for printing )

Other than the issues listed above (1 and 2 really), Evince is working as well as I'd expect an application downloaded from the maemo.org non-extras catalog. I've left it running in the background for a day with no memory leaks or abnormal battery usage. I'm tesing it with a 2GB ebook, 388 pages, that Evince loads and renders new screens in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks again!
