vb 3.8 version here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=207550)

This hack adds some keyboard shortcuts for accelerated navigation. Very convenient, when you browse forum without mouse (notebook with touchpad and so on).

Current shortcuts:
Ctrl + Left - previous page (current page - 1)
Ctrl + Right - next page (current page + 1)
Ctrl + Up - 1 level up.
(!) Ctrl + Down - Go to next unread thread in current forum (only for registered forum members)Demo: http://forum.rcdesign.ru/f22/ (without CTRL+DOWN for guests)

(!) "Next Unread" is taken from end (the most old unread thread). Reason is simple - that makes less returns, since top threads are updated very often.

PS. As you can see from screenshot, only Ctrl + Left/Right have visual helpers. If someone have good idea how to show, that Ctrl+ Up/Down are working too - feel free to share.

This mod is developped here: http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-keyboard_navigator . Patches are welcome.

Works great, we have a forum member with bad carpal tunnel so this makes their life easier.
