RES style keyboard shortcuts

[Kommynct]

Not having the res keyboard shortcuts is making this website unusable for me, honestly.

I use j and k (to be clear, I use dvorak so that's actually v and c, which is extremely easy to press with one hand.) to go up and down and it automatically selects and expands things in res, that feature alone makes it so that i only have to push one button to navigate the entire website.

I also have it set for shift J to collapse and uncollapse the expando, and when it scrolls down to comments, i can also collapse and shrink comments, this is also extremely convenient.

Furthermore, i can push the A key to instantly open the selected posts comments, and enter for the selected posts link

I find this setup extremely convenient, scrolling and using a mouse is vastly more annoying.

Maybe this would better be relegated to an extension, but, I find this setup far too wonderful to think it isn't deserving of being native, and I think the shortcuts should be configurable per-session with the option to make it account-wide.

I'd definitely be open to someone wanting to add these. I don't have time to work on it, but anyone else is free to do so.

Is there a bountysource or something similar where I could donate to such an issue being resolved?

[dessalines]

A tiny amount of money isn't going to solve the problem, either for me, or anyone else who wants this. Someone who wants the feature just needs to work on it.

How much money would make it happen?

@Kommynct I made a Lemmy keyboard navigation userscript here https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation
