Here’s one of those new feature announcements that serves double duty as an open thread: we now have some new “hot keys” available to all site visitors.

If you’re currently viewing a page that has a list of articles, you can now use the J and K keys to instantly jump to the top of the next or previous article.

J = next item
K = previous item

These keys also work with LGF comments.

The other new hot key: on any page with comments, you can now type N to activate the “New Comments” button.

N = New Comments

If you’re currently entering text into any kind of input field, these hot keys will be automatically disabled, to avoid confusion, mayhem, and/or recriminations.

Implemented via John Resig’s jQuery plugin.
