Keyboard Navigator (CTRL+Arrows shortcuts) · **Released**: 03-05-2009

vb 4.x version here

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.

If anybody need work it with vb3.6, just update template 'pagenav'.
This hack need rel="next" and rel="prev" like in modern vb versions.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
