GreatNews keyboard shortcuts

Michael Kizer posted a list of GreatNews keybord shortcuts. I thought this might be useful for other users too. Here’s an updated list:

In channel tree:

  • F2 to rename a channel/group/watch/label directly on the tree
  • Ctrl+click to switch channel w/o marking previous one as read

In news list:

  • Ctrl + ENTER to open web page in new tab
  • Shift + ENTER to open web page in external browser
  • Mouse wheel click to open web page in current tab
  • ENTER to open web page in current tab
  • Double click to open article according to settings.

In reading pane:

  • Ctrl+S to save current web page
  • Ctrl+N to open current internet page in default browser
  • Ctrl+F to find text on current page
  • Ctrl+click to open link in new tab
  • Shift+click to open link in external browser
  • Ctrl+PageUp/Down to turn to previous/next page
  • Ctrl+Tab to switch among tabs
  • Ctrl+W / Ctrl+F4 to close a tab
  • SPACE Bar will scroll, goto next page, go to next item etc depending on what you are reading. Scrolling mouse wheel at page bottom or scrolling mouse wheel holding right button works similiarly.

In menus:

  • Ctrl+F - find text on this page
  • Ctrl+H - search news item
  • F3 - search next
  • Ctrl+T - new tab
  • F12 - maximize reading pane
  • F7 - Next unread channel
  • F8 - next unread group

Navigation:

  • Tab/Shift+Tab to navigate among panels

    No problem… well, except that my blog’s permalinks got messed up when I switched from Blogger to my own hosted WordPress setup. The new URL is: http://michael.kizer.ws/2006/02/28/greatnews-keyboard-commands/

    关于在线RSS阅读器的个人体验…

    教育网的缘故,网速响应是相对较慢的,因此,我一直在选择适合我的RSS浏览器。之前我一直使用的GreatNews 这款最好用的离线浏览器。我试过很多种,最简单操作的还是这个,下载速度也是……
