Rewrote something I made for kbin to work with lemmy. Mimics some of RES’ keyboard navigation functionality.

Edit: updated so that expanded images scroll into view.

Edit 2: 2023/07/04

  • added ability to open links/comments (hold shift to open in new tab, might have to disable popup blocker)
  • traversing through entries while expand was toggled on will collapse previous entry and expand current entry preview
  • handle expanding of text posts

Edit 3: 2023/07/04

  • add ability to change to next/previous page

    Would you be able to add upvote and downvote buttons? Also could you make collapse work on comments? Thanks for the script! It’s great!
