Bloglines add Keyboard Shortcuts – Hotkeys

Posted By Darren Rowse 13th of October 2005 Blogging Tools and Services

Bloglines have added a new ‘hotkeys’ feature which allows users to scroll forwards and backwards through posts in their system from post to post or folder to folder with a keystroke.

A word of warning however – don’t click ‘s’ or ‘f’ unless you really do want to go to the next folder because it will open the folder/subfolder and mark all of the posts ‘read’ as if you’d manually opened them. I accidentally hit ‘f’ this afternoon and was forced to read the contents of a folder when I wasn’t really ready to – otherwise I would have lost the 450 unread entries (and no I didn’t feel like scrolling through them all and ticking ‘keep new’.

I’m also paranoid I’m going to hit the ‘A’ key by accident.

I wonder if there is an option to turn this feature off – it could be a disaster waiting to happen.
