Hacker News Extender Now Available for Chrome
Posted on 10. Jun, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News, Tips
I’ve just been told there is now a HN extension for Chrome Browser, and I’ve got it installed. It allows you to use keyboard shortcuts to quickly scan through the latest trends. I like it, and it appears from the readme for the extension that there will be more functions added soon.
Get the Hacker News Extender here.
From the readme:
Why is this?It started as a way to let you use keyboard shortcuts. It’s turning out to be a bit more.
How do I use it?
Read the code (but start from the bottom).
Fine, here’s a (probably out of date) summary:
On all pages
j: next
k: previous
u: upvote
On the home page
<enter>: open story
o: open comments
In comment threads
g i: returns to home page
h: downvote
n: next comment skipping replies
p: previous skipping replies
But seriously, just read the code.

Thanks for the quick write-up, Daniel. This is definitely a v0.1, with a lot more features to be added and corners to be smoothed. In the immediate pipeline is editing key bindings, smarter scrolling, and inline replies. That, and a bunch of small fixes (like not breaking ctrl-c on comments pages).
I can keep you updated on the progress, if you’d like.
