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.

    Undated to v0.2

    1. Simplifyed JS
    2. Nice texts in pagebar ( "<- Ctrl" and "Ctrl ->", see new screenshot ).

    Thinking about "what to do with Ctrl + Down". Next unread thread in current forum? Is it convenient use-case?

    Installed and Uninstalled.

    Ctrl up the only one reporting an action.

    Jambo, refresh page wiith CTRL+F5. Probably, your browser cached old JS file.

    You can check here: http://forum.rcdesign.ru - all buttons are ok.
