Research direction

Start by locating the slideshow keyboard event handling and comparing it with the existing 1–5 rating shortcuts in lighttable view. Confirm whether the shortcuts settings already support rating in slideshow, as the issue notes; done means pressing 1–5 while viewing a slideshow rates the displayed image consistently with lighttable.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Pressing 1-5 on the keyboard in slideshow view currently does nothing.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to rate images while they're being shown in the slideshow view, lighttable view already lets me do that with the keyboard keys, slideshow should also do the same.

Alternatives
If the shortcuts settings already let me do that, then that would be a non-issue.
