One of my favorite things about Lemmy is how everyone uses *GPL licenses for their code. Y'all rock! ❤️

Does this come with a quick key for hiding a thread?

The only thing I miss from that other site / RES is being able to scroll by just hitting H, H, H etc for 'hide', stopping to actually enter a thread, or skip it to read later.

The benefit being that I'd hop on a couple hours later, and those posts would still be hidden.

With Lemmy, I see a LOT of the same threads. Some of its because of reposts to different communities, but a lot of it's because the stuff I already sifted through is still lingering the next time I hop on.

I am Loving this script. Thank You

If I’m browsing lemmy on desktop, I refuse to use anything other than alexandrite.app

Adding a comment so people can experiment more in this thread.

There's a bunch of cli clients though, without the overhead of a browser.

Not to say it wouldnt be useful for some people.

Hey, I just discovered this and discovered that you seem to be the developer of it.

It seems to be broken in at least two ways, and doing some very unexpected (at least insomuch as it attempts to replicate RES behaviour, and also IMO how I would expect it to behave) things with alternative keyboard layouts.

Broken: upvoting posts. If I have a post selected and press "a", it takes me to the post in the poster's instance, the same as clicking the little fediverse logo. If I press "z", it upvotes. Voting works fine on comments with a = upvote, z = downvote.

"Disable arrow key scrolling" also seems to disable the use of arrow keys inside of a text box.

Keyboard layouts: in short, you seem to be using event.code, which detects which physical hardware key is depressed, instead of event.key, which detects the character that was typed. It means that if I want to move forward and backward, I have to press the key I would normally expect to type h/t.

To be clear: this is not wrong necessarily. It's actually sort of my preferred way for video games to do things, so I can type the keys in the space that WASD are and move around, for example. But as my personal preference, and my experience of how most browser extensions do things (including RES), this is not how I'd prefer it to be done.

I use Dvorak, which by coincidence keeps a and m in the same places as QWERTY (as well as the number keys), but moves everything else around to be more efficient and ergonomic. It also has the benefit of putting j and k where QWERTY has c and v, allowing for convenient one-handed use of the "next" and "previous" comment buttons along with upvoting, while keeping the right hand on the mouse for scrolling. And I could easily reach to the numpad enter key with my mouse hand to collapse a section (side note: using event.code means only the main enter key works. Using event.key, both enter keys are Enter). QWERTY requires two hands on the keyboard.
