Keyboard does make this easy. It's only complicated if you are using more
than one Keyboard at a time (imagine if you had two slideshows on the
screen; Keyboard lets you switch focus from one widget to the other so that
hitting the right arrow key doesn't make them both rotate).
You don't need Keyboard to do this though. Just do this:
$(document.body).addEvent('keyDown', function(event) {
if (event.right) this.slideShowSwap(true);
});
