[Feature] More Keyboard shortcuts

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

Immich is amazing. Period. Thank you all for your hard work. Some day I hope to contribute to Immich myself :) One thing I am missing is more keyboard shortcuts, so if it ever shows up again on your priority list, here are some ideas:

(btw this is duplicate of an already resolved feature request #3085 - but I am arguing that there is some room for improvement and either that one could get reopened, or filing another one to track some more ideas :) )

For example:

• remove from album without deleting an asset (e.g. #) -- when browsing in the album, removing the picture from the album
• add to latest album -- when browsing pictures on the main page, I'd like to be able to create an album (I can do that manually), and then, as I continue browsing, I would like to be able to add pictures to the existing (recently created) album. Instead of using "recently created", it could also use "recently modified" (so that if I am trying to add pictures to older albums, I can add the first picture manually to an old album, and then have a keyboard shortcut to add more pics to that album)
• alternatively: "x" to select a picture -- when browsing pictures left and right, offer a shortcut to "select" picture - so that when coming back to the main timeline, the pictures are selected - and then I can add them all to the album of my choice

Just a quick progress update:

• v1.129.0 just shipped with feat: add album keyboard shortcuts #16442. This adds an improved add album dialog and 'l' shortcut from single asset view to open up the dialog. Here's a quick demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHSzuAeZ2RU
• feat(web): Add keyboard shortcut selection on grid #16713: Is waiting to be merged, which will add left/right arrow keys to focus assets on any grid view as well as 'x' to quickly select them. Demo video of this in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpcVrUOK4sY

Encountered some existing bugs along the way which I've fixed now (#16759), but will take a look at remove from album as well soon.

It would be nice if immich would support the macOS Keyboard.
'i' works for image info but we mac users do not have the 'del' key, thus it is not possible to delete an image.
(please correct me if I'm wrong)

Ideally, it would be great to use the 1-5 keys for the star system. That would enable me to use Immich as a web-based alternative to culling photos in Capture One / Lightroom.

keyboard shortcuts would come in very handy when resolving duplicates
