QGIS: Jump to next feature (like in Atlas)

Question

I would like to jump to next feature in my attribute table. I know this is possible with the "print composer" using "atlas".

Is there any possibility to jump to the next feature in my attribute table using the standard QGIS canvas?

In How to iterate over features and abort iteration with keypress in PyQGIS? you can find a way to jump to the next feature (select it and zoom to it in the map canvas) of the active layer by pressing the space bar. You can have a look at the code to adjust it to your needs. Let me know if you need more guidance. — Germán Carrillo, Sep 27 '16 at 14:34
It worked for me yay . However, it would be cool to have a less hackerish method :-) — coding_bird, Sep 27 '16 at 15:01
I don't know if it makes sense to write yet another plugin, but the selenext plugin's source code hurts my eyes, from the README itself. I don't feel like contributing to it in its current state. — Germán Carrillo, Sep 27 '16 at 15:21
I have some GPS tracks. They are distributed over a large area. I want to view and modify each track. So need to jump from one feature to another. Before I used the attribute table. There I always had to right-click on each feature and select "zoom to feature". This is very laborious. Your solutions is much more convenient. — coding_bird, Sep 27 '16 at 15:41

The selenext Plugin will do the trick. It opens a new toolbar with up and down arrows that go through the features of the active layer

thx. Unfortunately "selenext" has problems with different CRS. My data is in EPSG:4326 but I display it in EPSG:3857. So "selenext" always jumps to "null island" – coding_bird Sep 27 '16 at 14:53

@coding_bird Ah, I see what you mean, I've checked it using the same CRS for the layer and the map. – HDunn Sep 27 '16 at 15:03

However, I am still looking for an less hackerish method.
