Mark wanted different keyboard navigation behavior:
With a recent dev. update one of these - keyboard navigation was implemented and has since received a minor update, but still doesn't quite reach what I'm after. So what do I want? To quickly, and easily, read through blog entries without having to click back and forth with the mouse, or hit cryptic key combos back and forth. In alot of recent usenet and email clients, once a message/post has been displayed the space bar is used to
"page down" the content of the post if there's more than one screen worth
if at the end of the message - select the next unread message in the current group/folder, and finally
if theres no more unread messages in the current folder, select the next folder with unread messages and display the first item.
All regardless of which widget has focus ( unless its a text entry widget ).
And that's what BottomFeeder now does, if you grab the latest dev updates to the BottomFeeder and Twoflower parcels. You'll need to restart; the event handlers for this are installed at startup.
