Google Reader Mousewheel and Keyboard Enhancer

Adds support for mousewheel scrolling to Google Reader and Enabled ArrowKey/PgUP/PgDn/Home controlls.

Update:29.10.05
This script is now officially obsolete, because the functionality has been included natively into GReader. I won't delete it, because it effectively shows how to add Mousewheel functionality to any DHTML page. If you need further mouse support, check out Chris' extension ( http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2037 ). Bye.

This adds MouseWheel support to Google Reader. Just move the mouse over the left column and use the mousewheel to scroll one entry at a time, or press alt to scroll whole pages.

Updated to prevent standard window scroll.
Thanks to Brent Charbonneau for the code.

Updated to new names for scrolling. (That's the problem with Google's Javscript compressor... every time they change something, all commands get renamed).

If you like Google Reader, be sure to check out Sean's GoogleSubscribe script ( http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1935 ) which lets you add feeds just by visting the page and doing one tiny click!

Update:28.10.05
An update to Google Reader broke compatibility, so now I've updated it to support the new commands... just install this script over the old one and everything should work fine.

great! why google put the function in in the first place?
can you make the right part content window size fixed? so I don't need to scroll down the page to read it all and scroll back to see the feed list.

thank you.

I guess this script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1946) meant to do this, but it does not work for me now.

Thanx to both of you!

Jordan: I didn't even think of that since mosts of my feeds contain only 4 to 5 lines... thank you pointing that out.

Brent: OK, changed that... thank you very much. Seeing how long it took me to find out about the detail element, I won't even imagine how long it would have taken me to find out about that method.

For the pther 79 users: I've updated it according to Brent's suggestion.

Add:
e.preventDefault();

to the end of the function (right before the closing '}'), and it will prevent the normal mousewheel-page-scrolling from happening when the cursor is over the queue-container

This is a really great script, except that when the page is tall enough to show a scrollbar, using the mousewheel also scrolls the entire page.
