Forked from @boobslider100@lem.ee's script - I just modified it to navigate Lemmy with arrows instead. I find it much easier than using J/K. Right/Left arrows have dual usage also, as they can both change the page and jump to next/previous same level comment :)

Down = Next post / comment
Up = Previous post / comment
Right = Next page / parent comment
Left = Previous page / parent comment
A = Upvote
Z = Downvote
X = Expand
C = View Comments
Enter = View Link

I made it for me but feel free to give it a go and let me know what you think!

Thank you for the ping! We are doing a code cleanup on LemmyTools right now and will try to get this added in the next major update. I really appreciate you.

I actually am really enjoying the script, have you thought about adding a way back by keypress out of a post's comments? Merely a "back" button implementation? To use after you're done reading the comments or whatever. Also, maybe a key press to enter a comment box or reply to a certain comment. Those are my thoughts at the moment! Very good! I'll probably do a CDN link to your most recent via the script. Thank you so much.

Thank you!

I will add them all when I have time, probably this afternoon. As for "Back", I am currently using the browser back functionality (CMD+Left arrow in mac) but I can see if I can implement something smarter, maybe with one key only.

I just added reply functionality with R key, quick n dirty, take a look. When I have time, I will add more stuff.
