Keyboard Shortcuts For Reddit

Being a fan of Google Reader’s keyboard shortcuts, I decided to implement similar features in Reddit using a bookmarklet.

All you have to do is create a new bookmark, paste the following into it, then when you are in Reddit, click the bookmark.


javascript:var s=document.createElement("script");
s.type="text/javascript";document.body.appendChild(s);
s.src="http://www.garrows.com/reddit.js";
void(0);

The keys are:

• j : next
• k : previous
• v : view selected in foreground tab
• o : open selected in background tab
• u : upvote
• d : downvote
• c : comments
• s : share post
• a : save post
• h : hide post
• + : increase bottom padding
• - : decrease bottom padding

As a bonus feature, once you reach the last item, it will automatically load more at the bottom of the page.

Let me know what you think. Hopefully the wonderful developers at reddit will add this script to their standard page so you wont have to keep clicking the bookmarklet.
