An idea of how to speed up the keyboard workflow
Usability
I think it will speed up the workflow if the program has an option for setting focus on the filmstrip after hitting develop (ctrl-D). Then I can select next picture with the arrow keys. Today I have to click on the filmstrip.
Even more useful had it been if I can set (in a setting) which tab (e.g. Quick) that should been selected as starting point.
Then I do my adjustment, hit ctrl-D, and have a nice starting point for my next picture.

As I've pointed it out in my post earlier, the user interface of Capture One 4 is seriously broken:

I cannot understand how on earth can a software company abandon the working keyboard shortcuts of its previous version, and while at it not even try to use the new one for the most mundane of tasks.
The omission of the arrow keys and the mouse wheel for the selection of thumbnails is so big of a UI disaster that it actually takes 3-4x the time to go over a folder of new shots than before. You have to move your mouse and manually select the next image to work on, which can easily drive mad anyone who is facing hundreds of shots in a folder.
I hope Phase One will listen to people who actually try to use their software, because their own developers and testers clearly haven't gone past the occasional test images used for calibration.

I never liked interfaces in which the mouse wheel selects images. I always preferred having it scroll the display (similar to using the Page Up and Page Down keys). But no matter -- here's another situation in which the Preferences dialog is much under-used. The mouse wheel's purposes should be user-selectable in that dialog.
(I'm glad at least that PhaseOne didn't go for a Lightroom-style magnification-toggle routine -- where you have very few options for image size as it's displayed on-screen. That's a ghastly "feature" and I can't imagine why the LR developers thought anyone would like it. Can you imagine the Photoshop developers being able to sell that to users who are accustomed to making small changes in magnification on-screen? What were those guys thinking, anyway?)
In C1, I've found that the Control key in combination with the arrow keys selects previous and next image (I assume it'd be Command+arrow keys on the Mac).
If the image browser has the focus, the arrow keys alone do this. To get back the ability to move from image to image using the arrow keys alone requires clicking the image-browser to give it the focus. (Here's a UI shortcoming: the program doesn't provide any visual feedback that I know of to confirm which area has the focus.)
At least the Control key+arrow key combination works when the focus is the main editing area. That key combination seems to work when the focus is one of the settings controls, too.0
