Ask HN: Generic keyboard shortcuts for "next page" on websites?
Hi!
Do you guys know of ways to enable automatic keyboard shortcuts for pagination on websites?
The use case I'm imaging is this:
You're on a website that offers several pages of content, like google search result pages or products in an online store.
Why not mark up links to the previous/next pages and all other links to pagination via html attributes? This would allow browsers to use that information to provide shortcuts to those pages.
Also I can imagine this making life easier for people using assistive technology.

- adhesive_wombat 5y agoOn Firefox, Tridactyl[0] does this too. Which link it follows as is based on the rel=next (or prev if you used [[) attributes (i.e. the actually correct way that web pages all too often do not use) and then falling back to heuristics like the button/link text.
