Keyboard Arrow Keys Navigation With Easy Slider 1.7

I'm trying to edit the Easy Slider to allow the keyboard's arrow keys to navigate the slideshow. I tried editing the javascript's animate function from: default: t = dir; break; .

Solution 1:

Assuming your next and prev links have IDs of #next and #prev:

$(document).keydown(function(e){
    if (e.keyCode == 39) { 
       $('a#next').trigger('click');
    }

    elseif (e.keyCode == 37) {
         $('a#prev').trigger('click');
    }
});

I'm also not familiar with easy slider, but if they have a way to programmatically switch the slides back and forth, then you could swap out the triggers with those. The posted solution will work fine though.
