Speed Reading with Google Reader.

June 27th, 2007

Speed up feed reading with Google Reader by learning a couple of simple keystrokes to avoid ever reaching for your mouse:

Lather:

  • Open Google Reader
  • Shift-n – Selects your first folder (or feed)
  • Shift-o – Opens the folder (or feed)
  • 2 – Switches to the (abbreviated) entry list view

Rinse:

  • <space-bar> – Expands the first/next feed entry
  • j, k – Expands the next or previous feed entry
  • n, p – Selects the next or previous feed entry
  • o – Expands/collapses the current feed entry
  • v – Opens current entry URL in a new tab or window
  • s – Stars the current entry
  • Shift-a – Marks all unread feed entries as read

Repeat:

  • Shift-n, Shift-o – Select & open next folder/feed

Help:

  • ? – Opens a popup keyboard shortcut guide

See, no need to use the mouse!
