Windows 10 - navigation arrows disappear after zooming and keyboard arrows no longer work

I'm having an issue with going to the next photo within a folder after zooming in the photo. If I do not zoom, I can freely use the navigation arrows or the keyboard arrows to the next or previous photo. As soon as I zoom in on the photo using Photo's
zoom function or my mouse wheel, I can no longer navigate to the next photo using the navigation arrows or the keyboard arrows. The functionality does not return when I zoom completely out and return the photo to its previous full extent. In order to return
the navigation arrows or use the keyboard arrow keys, I have to close the photo completely and reopen the photo. I have tried repairing and resetting the Photo app. And my system is currently up to date.

 

Am I the only one missing the arrows on the keyboard?

Trying to navigate that caret is like needling a thread.

The screen you see your text on is half because the keyboard fills up most of the screen making it even more difficult to place the caret in the exact place. I can get it close but to navigate one step up down left or right would be a great option.

Navigation Arrow Keys would be helpful even if they were under the shift or number option keyboard.

 

Make a shift key behave like an arrow key

I have a Windows 10 laptop with a keyboard designed by idiots. They tried to cram the arrow keys where they don't belong, with the result that the up arrow key is between the right shift key and the / key (US keyboard layout). This is one of the stupidest things the designers could have done, because it means that when I go to hit the right shift key (which is most of the time), I end up hitting up arrow instead. This is incredibly annoying.

I found a program called Sharp Keys which allows me to remap the keys such that the up arrow behaves as shift and the right shift behaves as up arrow. Now, at least I can type. However, I've now lost important functionality for the up arrow key. Up arrow (now labeled "shift" on my keyboard) doesn't repeat. So, I can't just hold the key down to move up. Instead, I have to hit the key repeatedly. How can I fix this, so my right shift key behaves like up arrow and my up arrow key behaves like right shift?

EDIT

Following a suggestion from the comments, I installed AutoHotkey. I have the following script:

I have the same problem as earlier. But, since AHK is a scripting language, is it possible to use it to change the repeat behavior?
