From man wallch:

   --next

       Proceeds to next image (random image selection if this is selected) if process is running.

   --previous

       It proceeds to the previous image (the selected options doesn't matter, previous pictures are logged).

   --once

       It  just  changes the desktop background choosing from the list. It works both if the wallch is open or not. 2 and more pictures have to be selected for this to work.

I have set up keyboard shortcuts to issue the commands wallch --once command and it works well.
