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! 🚀

You don’t like Vimium?
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 LinkIt’s like a videogame 😛
