The node I replied to was about HTML accesskeys. What you are doing seems quite unrelated to that. Note that I said:

" Perhaps you are thinking of scrolling within a thread, but I don't think access keys can be used that way (without doing a lot of JavaScript...). "

You seem to be doing a lot of javascript, no? And you don't seem to be using HTML accesskeys at all.

but a previous keystroke has to establish the context for it, and that keystroke should scroll the context into view

And does scrolling the content change the context? Is there a visual indicator of what the current context is? You might want to consider those points if you haven't. These are some of the issues that crossed my mind such that I decided to not further discuss the idea beyond my brief mention.

I'm glad you appear to have made something that is useful to blazar. Personally, I scroll a thread when I'm done reading/scanning what currently is displayed not in increments of nodes. But I appreciate the potential improvement for others.
