Rewrote something I made for kbin to work with lemmy. Mimics some of RES’ keyboard navigation functionality.
Edit: updated so that expanded images scroll into view.
Edit 2: 2023/07/04
- added ability to open links/comments (hold shift to open in new tab, might have to disable popup blocker)
- traversing through entries while expand was toggled on will collapse previous entry and expand current entry preview
- handle expanding of text posts
Edit 3: 2023/07/04
- add ability to change to next/previous page
Edit 4: 2023/07/06
- updated scroll into view logic
- prevent shortcut actions when modifier keys are held (ctrl+c won’t load comment page anymore)
- updated open link button to also consider images with external links
- updated user script metadata section for compatibility per @[email protected]
- navigating to next/previous page while in “expand mode” will auto-expand the first post of the new page

Is this GPL? I took the liberty to fork it, to change into arrow navigation and change the styling. I also added upvote/downvote keys, before seeing shadshack did the same 🤣. Hope it’s ok!
