Maybe give expanded view a go on desktop? I use it (and 'j' instead of 'n'). This marks as read as you go, the content is loads optimistically and you don't have to scan the page, each headline (with the article beneath) appears in the same spot. This is (I believe) closer to the intended workflow (not to say it's better than yours) and seems very close to the outcome you seek, if not exactly the same. - Rog On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 2:36 PM, Ben Sand <b...@bensand.com> wrote: > Thanks Tom, > > Those keyboard shortcuts have saved me. > > Thank you to everyone else for putting up with this indulgence and I hope > the tips shared help with productivity for some of you. > > Workflow I was after: > > Mobile: (while I've got a few mins to spare somewhere) > * Scroll through ~15 headlines at a time, expand what I'm interested in, tag > if I want to. > * Mark the whole page (~15) as read with one button, but not any other > articles. > This still seems to work > > > Now saved with keyboard shortcuts. n to go down and article, m to mark as > read, I just hammer them together lots while scanning quickly across the > titles. > > On 19 June 2012 12:27, Tom Allen <t...@jugglethis.net> wrote: >> >> Ben, >> >> Have you ever tried pressing Shift+? in Google Reader?
