Add Expand/Collapse Feed Titles To My Feed List

[fmcpherson]

I've found it handy to go to My FeedList during the day to see which of my feeds have recently been updated. I prefer to use the keyboard to navigate within applications, and I have found that I can use the Tab key to move cursor focus to the feed titles, but there is no keyboard shortcut to expand the items within a feed title. If I press ENTER the feed info page loads. In Drummer the keyboard shortcuts for expand and collapse are Ctl+, and Ctrl+. respectively, OR Shift+Ctrl+, to toggle. Would it be possible to add either of these shortcut methods to expand/collapse feed titles?

@fmcpherson -- thanks for posting this here. i wasn't thinking that the tab key works that way here, but of course it does, it's moving between elements on the page. i'll give this some thought, thanks for the idea. ;-)

@fmcpherson -- I implemented this feature.

Thanks for the suggestion, it was a good one.

Here's a quick demo.

Works for me. Great feature. Might be worth noting that the convention in Apple's Mail.app is likewise to use the up and down arrows to navigate vertically, and then to use the right arrow to unroll an email thread and the left arrow to roll it back up again. So my body memory is used to that. But return to open and close a list also works and is settling into my body now.

@dsearls --

These things are easy to change.

The initial request was for the keys we use in Drummer -- cmd-, and cmd-. -- which I believe I copied from the MORE reference card from 1988 or so. But there's only one operation, toggle the expansion state, so it seemed wasteful to use two keys when one would do. But maybe Return is the wrong key. Certainly open to guidance on this.

Anyway since you like that feature, I have another one almost ready to go that'll blow your socks off.

One more thing.. in 2022. ;-)
