What’s this?

It’s a new UserScript (typically installed with browser extensions such as Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey/Greasomonkey) which enables keyboard arrow navigation, meaning you will no longer have to use your mouse to navigate Lemmy if you’re lazy like myself 😌

Why YSK:

For some people like me, this could be the turning point to actually start using Lemmy (few but still!). I loved Lemmy and the only thing I disliked was being unable to navigate it with a keyboard like I used to do with Reddit/RES so I created one :)

Hope this is helpful and enjoy! 🚀

      I never heard of Vimium before, looks cool :)

      However this script will allow you to select posts/comments, upvote/downvote, expand images, view links etc. I tried to make it as simple as possible to navigate Lemmy with just your keys:

      Down = Next post / comment
      Up = Previous post / comment
      Right = Next page / parent comment
      Left = Previous page / parent comment
      A = Upvote
      Z = Downvote
      X = Expand
      C = View Comments
      Enter = View Link
      

      It’s like a videogame 😛
