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 😌

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! 🚀

What is it?

Lemmy Keyboard Navigation is a RES-like userscript that allows you to navigate Lemmy with the keyboard. Supports both HJKL and arrow navigation.

What's new

• Due to popular demand, default navigation is now HJKL (aka RES or Vim-style). Change vimKeyNavigation into false if you wish to use Keyboard Arrows instead.
• Enter key for comments collapse ⎆
• S key for save post/comment 💾
• R key to go to community of a post 🌐
• Now also available as a Chrome Extension, however it's still at version 1.8, waiting for Google to approve 1.9, should be there in few days.

Feel free to provide feedback and of course PRs are always welcome! Special thanks to @aglidden for the major contributions.

What's this?

It's a new UserScript (typically installed with browser extensions such as Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey/Greasomonkey) which enables keyboard arrow navigation, meaning you will no longer have to use your mouse to navigate Lemmy if you're lazy like myself 😌

Why YSK:

For some people like me, this could be the turning point to actually start using Lemmy (few but still!). I loved Lemmy and the only thing I disliked was being unable to navigate it with a keyboard like I used to do with Reddit/RES so I created one :)

Hope this is helpful and enjoy! 🚀

Forked from @[email protected]'s script - I just modified it to navigate Lemmy with arrows instead. I find it much easier than using J/K. Right/Left arrows have dual usage also, as they can both change the page and jump to next/previous same level comment :)
