YSK: You can navigate Lemmy with just your keyboard (like RES)

afoutopatisa@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 185 points – GitHub - vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation: RES-like script that allows you to easily navigate Lemmy with your keyboard
github.com

What's this?

It's a RES-like browser extension that enables keyboard navigation, meaning you will no longer have to use your mouse to navigate Lemmy if want to use it for accessibility purposes or if you're lazy like myself šŸ˜Œ

Why YSK:

If you miss RES and have Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Edge (Safari still not supported) you can give it a spin and see if it makes your life easier.

Hope this is helpful and enjoy! šŸš€

One of my favorite things about Lemmy is how everyone uses *GPL licenses for their code. Y'all rock! ā¤ļø

Does this come with a quick key for hiding a thread?

The only thing I miss from that other site / RES is being able to scroll by just hitting H, H, H etc for 'hide', stopping to actually enter a thread, or skip it to read later.

The benefit being that I'd hop on a couple hours later, and those posts would still be hidden.

With Lemmy, I see a LOT of the same threads. Some of its because of reposts to different communities, but a lot of it's because the stuff I already sifted through is still lingering the next time I hop on.

I am Loving this script. Thank You

Adding a comment so people can experiment more in this thread.

There's a bunch of cli clients though, without the overhead of a browser.

Not to say it wouldnt be useful for some people.
