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.
  1. ctrl+enter - submit any post/comment/form
  2. ctrl+k - link in markdown fields
  3. ctrl+i - italics in markdown fields
  4. ctrl+b - bold in markdown fields
  5. ctrl+alt+tab - real tab in markdown fields
@sn please add to the FAQ when you get a chance

Is it possible to add two more for navigation?
  1. Goto next article
  2. Goto the previous article
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?
reply
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 k to jump up and down. In my news RSS app for NextCloud it’s the left/right arrow keys to navigate. In gmail it is g+n and g+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+j for previous post and ctrl+k for next post for example.

@sn that would be interesting.
