  • jumping from one message to another

    From Alan Beck@1:229/426.36 to All on Sunday, October 31, 2021 10:13:00
    Hello!


    Why is there not a method of jumping from 1 message to the next using 1
    key while reading

    There has there has to be one, makes no sense

    Enabling this: Config/Options/UnserInterface:

    º º
    º [x] The cursor will jump automatically to the º
    º next message when exiting the previous one, º
    º ready for it to be read. º

    ...is a good alternative.

    When you are reading a message, press F1 for further info:


    º When reference links available º
    º (Maus, Fido): º
    º º
    º + Go to the next message in the º
    º reference link (if any) º
    º º
    º - Go to the original message in the reference º
    º link (as long as it's still in the º
    º messagebase). º
    º º
    º Ctrl-Page-Up º
    º Jumps to the chronologically preceding º
    º message in the same Newsgroup. º
    º º
    º Ctrl-Page-Down º
    º Jumps to the chronologically following º
    º message in the same Newsgroup. º
    º º
    º Cursor-Left and Cursor-Right Toggles between º
    º messages in the same reference link. º


    Ctrl-PgUP, and Ctl-PgDN isn't too bad at all, is it?

    As you should already know by now, it's a simple matter of pressing Ctrl+PgDown whilst in the message reader. Do you have a problem with that?

    There has there has to be one, makes no sense

    However, I've redefined the Right-Arrow key to jump to the next message in the message reader by setting up a key macro: Config -> Keys -> Macros

    WARNING: if you decide to play about with this feature, it's *VERY* easy
    to make a *BIG* *MESS*!

    Very powerful. Macros are another aspect of OpenXP that
    comprises "the adventure"! :D
