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?

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.
