Article Jump

About this module

Article Jump adds jQuery functionality to a page to allow the user to scroll from one article to the next via a hotkey. For instance you can scroll down through a stream of node teasers by pressing "j" several times. Then scroll back to the previous article by pressing "k".

The jQuery selector is configurable, so if you have a stream of feed items, you can add a selector of ".content .feed-items" on the module configuration page and users will be able to navigate that stream by pressing "j" and "k" as well.

The hotkeys are also configurable. So, if you prefer "n" and "p", than you can change them on the configuration page.

This module requires the libraries module and mousetrap.js, a javascript library.
