I used shift because I use Vimium and most of the single letter shortcuts are bound to something. So shortcuts like ‘m‘ would not be available for people using Vimium or Vimperator.
Awesome just tried it and it made the focus on the article great. Nice and 'simple' :) Quick question what is the best way to ask for a feature request on the platform?

You don't need to know or learn VIM in order to use it. I don't and I'm not going to. It does have some VIM specific weird things, but the basic features are easily usable with zero VIM knowledge.

I try to stay up with new web platform features. Web feature you don't understand? Tell me! I'll write an article!

Hm, my numpad-0 doesn't seem to work, though the top-of-the-keyboard-0 does. Windows 7 Pro desktop, Chrome 74, Microsoft keyboard. I can file a GH issue if desired
Web developer, and sometimes Linux admin. I work mostly with PHP and Symfony, not so often with JavaScript / Typescript with React or Vue. And when I have time, I'm trying to get into mobile apps.
That's a pretty nice feature! HoweverI found a bug. When you navigate to one of the articles at the bottom it reveals the asides of the article but the top bar stays hidden. When the 0 button is pressed again that elements toggle.
Really great quality of life feature! What about implementing both? (Heart if you don't have a num pad.)
Yeah, that probably makes sense. The non-numpad zero works all the same. I also feel like the m button also might make sense as "minimize".

Great job, though!
Although I like how simple it is I think I will like to see the article in the center of the screen doing it maybe with some smooth transition.
Really like this feature!

Thanks again
Hey @adyngom -- you can share feature requests by creating an issue in our repo:
github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/...
Perfect Jess thank you 😊
You are onto something.
Maybe we can have keyboard shortcuts to navigate dev.to? 😉
(Configurable kinda like it is in VS Code)
And it'd be universally accessible too 😃
Check out Vimium or Vimperator. Then you can navigate any website with the keyboard.
Thanks, Dmitry.
Looks like another reason to start learning VIM ;)

Love it! And love the one letter shortcut (vimium-spoiled), It does disable cmd+0 for zooming back to 100%, but i can live with that
Nice!
Awesome, love the feature!
Awesome! <3

It's the same in Chromium 73 in Fedora Linux. It works with top 0 but not with numpad-0. Strange..
Great functionality anyways!
This is absolutely excellent 🥰

Not working for me :'(
