Keyboard Navigator (CTRL+Arrows shortcuts)
Mod Version: 0.6, by Vitaly

This hack adds some keyboard shortcuts for accelerated navigation. Very convenient, when you browse forum without mouse (notebook with touchpad and so on).

Current shortcuts:

• Ctrl + Left - previous page (current page - 1)
• Ctrl + Right - next page (current page + 1)
• Ctrl + Up - 1 level up.
• (!) Ctrl + Down - Go to next unread thread in current forum (only for registered forum members)

Demo: http://forum.rcdesign.ru/f22/ (without CTRL+DOWN for guests)

(!) "Next Unread" is taken from end (the most old unread thread). Reason is simple - that makes less returns, since top threads are updated very often.

PS. As you can see from screenshot, only Ctrl + Left/Right have visual helpers. If someone have good idea how to show, that Ctrl+ Up/Down are working too - feel free to share.

This mod is developped here: https://github.com/rcdesign/vb-keyboard_navigator . Patches are welcome.
