Paging Keys Now Supported

Today I added partial support for paging keys using this open-source library.

What's it mean for you?

Well, if you type the "j" or "k" keys you'll go to the next and previous post on any given page. This will make navigation much easier as your eyes won't have to read down the page, then immediately jump up when you hit "page down" or something.

Give it a try on a page with several posts: tap the j and k keys.


------

Now, what isn't working that I hope to get working soon is related to pagination. The "h" and "l" keys will eventually (I hope) allow you to go to next and previous pages. Additionally, if that works, "j" and "k" will go forward and back a page when you're at the last or first post, respectively.

Yeah it's pretty cool and very useful. Could perhaps work better if the keys were on the left side of the keyboard so we could leave one hand on the mouse and not have to reach over to navigate the page.

Doesn't work in Chrome, haven't tried it in other browsers yet.

I'm a left handed mouse user since 2004 so j & k are really really . . . good.

Re: Paging Keys Now Supported

Being old VI guy I like it!!!

I know it's a work in progress but just wanted to leave some feedback.

Using Chrome on the front page (and sub-forum front pages), k & l seem to take me to the head of the page, h takes me to the end and j don't seem to do anything.

On an individual thread pages the j & k paging is working (and the h & l still do tail & head).

Yeah, that's because I can't get the h and l keys to go forward and back a page like they're supposed to. If I could, then j and k would "cross boundaries" as well.

It's unfortunate, but the current way the JavaScript is built and the way vBulletin pages are created make this a no-go. Lame, I know... but at least j and k work, and h and l do the tail and head stuff.

If I could get it ALL to work, I'd do it.

I'm pleased to announce that I've re-added this support to the forum AND that it's now better: not only will j and k take you from post to post (j the next post, k the previous post - which, yes, seems backwards to me too but which is the "standard"), but the h and the l also go to the next or previous page in multi-page threads as well now. (Or to the top or bottom of a page if the next or previous page is not available.)
