Due to serious health problems, I can now only spend a limited amount of time sitting on a chair in front of the keyboard of my pc, which is the only way I can write properly and fast like I'm used to. I also have to spend much time in bed: fortunately I managed to intelligently divide my "work" selecting stuff to read there on an Eee a few friends of mine brought me as a much appreciated gift - no matter what, writing is too hard but for brief notes. (So don't suggest any technique, please: I've tried everything!) All in all, this setup is very satisfactory, and the "reading sessions" include our beloved PM, comprehensive of voting, occasional considering (now this is what I call a brief note) and such stuff. However:

So, I wonder whether a better keyboard-driven navigation support for PM could be provided, in a way similar to that of, say, Google Reader: this is not the usual "make PM more 2.0 and ajaxy rant" since it is my understanding (which admittedly may be wrong) that much, if not all, of such functionality can be implemented with standard html attributes. Otherwise, probably a Greasemonkey script would do... but unfortunately that's beyond my capabilities. (And probably I've never felt the desire to learn js as much as now!)

What I was thinking of is much along the lines of: go to next and previous post, go to parent post, vote ++ or --, etc.

Before somebody points out currently available tricks, and possibly the "caret navigation" mode of FF, please let me tell you that I know both, and in fact I "survive" decently. Yet, I'm sure something better (in the terms above) could be done.
