Feature: arrow-key placement

Please note we are preparing to participate in Google Code-in, and have reserved this issue for GCI participants - but we'd love to have your help with another one! Please check out https://code.publiclab.org to see more.

This might conflict with the "pan the map" usage of arrow keys, but:

Sometimes it is hard to move the photo to the EXACT point on which you want it. If you could click the photo and use arrow keys to move the selected photo this could help with the accuracy. At the moment pressing the arrow keys moves the whole map. This is also a good feature. Keep this but add a way of clicking on the photo which selects it so you can then use arrow keys to move accurately.

However, maybe arrow keys could be used for moving an image when an image is selected, but otherwise for panning the map.

Does anyone know where the arrow key event listeners are handled? I'm planning to go there and check if the image is selected to determine whether to move the image or the map.
