Are there any keyboard shortcuts for Stacker News? Specifically, one to move to the next article in the list once you've selected one and are done reading it.
Currently, I have to go back to the main page and then click another link each time (maybe I'm missing a button that jumps to the next one?). I've done a quick search on the FAQ and Guide but didn't find any mention of "Keyboard" or "Shortcut." Thanks for any help!
We have a few. I'll list them here. If you'd like more, please comment here and we'll created a GH issue.

Is it possible to add two more for navigation?
I guess these would be context dependent on which list/feed you are arrived at the current article from? Thanks for considering. :-)
I don't see why not. I'm not a big shortcut guy. Do you know which keys are commonly used for that kind of thing?
I don’t have a strong preference. I’m biased towards VI-like commands, so my natural inclination would be to use some combination with
j and kto jump up and down. In my news RSS app for NextCloud it’s the left/right arrow keys to navigate. In gmail it isg+nandg+p. As far as I know there isn’t a standard but happy to be corrected.I am biased towards vi-like commands, too
I think if we add this for power users, we might as well use "power user key bindings" too.
ctrl+jfor previous post andctrl+kfor next post for example.i'm trying to bold my words
@sn that would be interesting.
