Bloglines

Posted on by
I read my feeds with Bloglines (yes, I have tried Google Reader ), because I like to read all the enteries from a subscription at one time.  It is that simple.  OK, there is one more thing "s".  The shortcut key for bloglines uses "s" to navigate next which on the left side of the keyboard means I can leave my right hand on the mouse if it is already there.

The new beta look is looking very nice and have changed some of there wording (Keep/Pinned). So far so good, keep up the good work. I did notice that the counts are not geeting updated in the new beta but I can live with that.  

Update:  the counts are being updated but now I have to mark each as being read, yes there is a user setting to mark them all as being read but that does not seem to be working.

More Bloglines Hotkeys

Posted on by

Bloglines has added some more hotkeys, which I mentioned before. They have implemented my last request of setting focus to the right pane. But I would like to see one more addtional short cut key, allowing me to navigate to the next new message that is not marked as new. I have a handful of articles that I need to read but don’t have time to read them in full, so I mark them to keep as new but I always have to navigate through them to read all the unread articles.

One of the new hotkeys is open article which is a nice new feature. The problem is when I use the ‘s’ hotkey it does not automaticly select the first article so I have to press s, j, and then o just to open the article. I should only have to press s and o, please fix.

You can now navigate through Bloglines with hotkeys! You will find this legend at the bottom of each feed display page.
Hotkeys: j – next article k – previous article m – collapse/expand left pane s – next sub f – next folder A – read all n – toggle keep new o – open article O – open article in background r – refresh left pane

Update: Bloglines anounces new hotkeys – Sesame Street ABC’s

Bloglines Hotkeys

Bloglines has added some new hotkeys just like Gmail by Google.  The hotkeys work great and make the navigating much easier and quicker.

I would like to see them set the focus to the right pane after using the hotkeys so that  I can continue to use the keyboard and scroll through the message.
