GreaterWrong now has a new feature: image zoom / slideshows.

Whenever a post contains images (such as this recent post about embedded world-models [LW · GW]), you can click on any image…

… to show an enlarged, “lightbox” style view of it:

You can then page through all the images in the post with the arrow keys, or by clicking the next/previous image buttons at the left/right edges of the screen:

Use the scroll wheel to zoom in or out:

When zoomed in, you can drag around the screen to pan (just like Google Maps, etc.).

Hit the space bar to reset size/position.

Hit Escape to close the slideshow/lightbox.

Edited to add: You can also hit accesskey-L to start or resume the slideshow. (On Mac Chrome, for example, that’s Control-Option-L.)
