select nearest file after deleting a file

Scenario:
I'm looking through my screenshots folder deciding which images I don't want anymore.

There are 11,387 files in this folder. Since they're screengrabs they all have similar names like 2010-02-26 at Feb 26 2.21.21 PM.png or screenshot 7777.png

When I delete a file I kind of lose my place in the list because nothing else gets highlighted.

Due to my decades of Windows usage my instince is to just press up or down arrow keys to select one of the files closest to the one I just deleted and continue my browsing.

BUT, when i do that on a mac (finder or path finder) it select the first or list file in the list. Making me totally lose my place
