Google Reader - "Mark as read" keyboard shortcuts

Three shortcuts to mark items as read. Pressing comma, "," marks an item as read in list view and then moves to the next item. Pressing "shift-u" marks all items above the currently selected item as read. "shift-I" marks items after as read.

The script contains three keyboard shortcuts:

1) Pressing comma, "," in list view will mark the currently selected item as read and then selects the next item. Basically the equivalent of pressing "m" followed by "n" using the existing reader keyboard shortcuts.

2) Pressing "shift-U" will mark all items above and including the currently selected item as read. The equivalent of pressing "p" until you return to the begging of the list followed by "m" and "n" until you return to the current item.

3) Pressing "shift-I" will mark all items below and including the currently selected item as read. This is useful if you read items sorted by oldest instead of newest.

These shortcuts can be easily changed to whatever you want (except currently existing Google Reader shortcuts).

This script uses ideas and code from Google Reader - Mark All Until Current As Read.

I noticed a bug in the code.

If some items are marked as read and some are not, and I press Shift + U, it basically toggles the 'read' state of the entries.

This should not happen.

I think #000000hA7 was right, my script have keyboard shortcuts look at script homepage, because i constantly use GR on mine laptop.

./, or wheel down/up: item scan down/up with mark as read

And i can replace mouse wheel by touch pad.

evaristo: The newest version of the script does what you want. It is a little cludgy since it moves around the view a bit, but it works.

How about marking all items BELOW and including the currently selected item as read?
