Use Google Reader Shortcuts to Save Money
February 15th, 2007
TIME = MONEY
Keyboard shortcuts are a good way to save time. Instead of trying to find a menu, a button, or an option, you just type a combination of keys. The only problem is that you have the remember the shortcuts.
Here is the list of shortcuts that will make your life easier in Google Reader:
| Keystroke | Action | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| j | next | view the next item in your reading list |
| k | prev | view the previous item |
| n | scan down | scroll to the next item without viewing it |
| p | scan up | scroll to the previous item without viewing it |
| shift n | page down | scroll down by one screen of items |
| shift p | page up | scroll up by one screen of items |
| o or <Enter> | view item | view the selected item |
| h | top | go to the top of your reading list |
| r | refresh | refresh your reading list |
| s | star | star the current item |
| l | label | jump to the form for labeling the current item |
| v | show original | open original item in a new window |
| g then h | home | loads your home (reading list) items |
| g then s | starred | loads your starred items |
| g then u | edit subscriptions | loads your subscriptions and labels |
| g then r | read items | loads your read items |
| g then l | label selector | lets you type in a label and then loads it |
One way to remember them is to print the shortcuts and start exercising. Another way is to understand their meaning and use them naturally.
