Changing the third parameter of the addEventListener to true seems to get the script working again.

Sorry, but this doesn't work any longer on a normal basis.

It only works after I click on a link. Normal Google Reader keyboard shortcuts then no longer work.

Hi, is there a way to deactivate this script when focus is on the search form? Currently hitting 'Enter' while a post is selected AND focus is on the search field causes the selected post to be opened.

Only the search should be submitted.

I've written a new script based on this one, which I consider a bit handier (at least to me). You can check it here:
Google Reader Background & Read@Lenny: thanks for the idea)

I've managed to change your script: now it reacts on "b" key press. All you have to do is write

if (String.fromCharCode(event.which)=="b" && !event.ctrlKey) {

instead of

if(event.keyCode == 13)

Perhaps it would be better to combine this action with "mark as read" action, but i don't know how to do it yet.

The script works great if I open the item ('o') then understand that it's worth reading and open it in a background tab by pressing 'Enter'. This also closes the item automatically, what is very handy.

But there is another pattern: I just look at the title of item and want to open it in background without expanding in reader. What should I do?
First variant: I press 'o' and then press Enter just like described before.
Second variant: I press Enter, the item is opening in background BUT it's also opening in reader! And I have to close it by pressing 'o'!

Could you please change this behaviour so that it would be as follows: if I press 'Enter' on unexpanded item, it opens in background and ~doesn't expand~.

Thanks in advance.

It seems this is a nice way to make the link be opened in the background without having to set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground, which would open anything in the background.

just a FYI, Google Reader *already* does this when you press 'V'.
