Ctrl-K or "g" functionality for jumping to feeds

[weierophinney]

An increasing number of sites/applications are using the "Ctrl-K" combination (Slack, Discord, GitHub, Firefox) or "g" (Gmail, StackOverflow) to allow jumping to or searching for content. As an example, to locate and jump to a different channel in Discord, I might use "Ctrl-K", start typing the name of the channel I want to go to, and then either Tab or Enter to select and jump to it once a match is made. Similarly, in StackOverflow, I can type "gt" to go to tags, and it auto-focuses the tab search box to allow me to quickly find and jump to a tag. GitHub allows me to hit "Ctrl-K" to search for and jump to just about any content; hitting "t" within a repository allows me to search for a file in the tree (hence "t") to jump to.

I have dozens of feeds in Nextcloud News, and navigating them via keyboard is a bit clumsy. I can use "f" and "d" to jump to forward and back between feeds, but there's no way to jump to a specific feed; to do that, I need to use the mouse. Ctrl-K or "g" would be really useful for navigating via keyboard.

You can hit ctrl-f and search for them.

This works, but:

• it doesn't match partial words, AND
• it searches ALL content across all apps you have available for your user, which means
• it's slow, AND
• the results often are towards the bottom of the results list, requiring quite a number of keystrokes to select.

Basically, I'm looking for a context-specific search here, and one that surfaces results quickly with a minimum number of keystrokes. This is what the various examples I provided do.

For that we would probably need a modernized frontend, which we currently do not have.

But yea, good idea in general a new frontend should copy user concepts of other popular apps especially within Nextcloud.
