  • jumping from one message to another

    From Alan Beck@1:229/426.36 to All on Sun Oct 31 10:13:00 2021
    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:

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

    ...is a good alternative.

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


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


    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
