Ask HN: Do you use N + Enter to access Hacker News?

Do you find yourself (sometimes) mindlessly opening a new tab and pressing N + Enter just to see what's new?


More like n + down arrow + enter, but yes.

I will also fully admit to having closed an HN tab and then immediately opening a new HN tab out of habit.


Cmd-L + n + enter is the Chrome winning combo for me.


Or just Cmd-T + n + enter


Same here, and it is fun to see it not working after you have just reinstalled/started using a new computer, but after some days everything is the same and I'm in peace.. almost :)


Yes; and it is unfortunately the entrance to the "dark playground" for me.

See http://www.waitbutwhy.com/2013/10/why-procrastinators-procra... for the full expansion of the dark playground.


Yes, but via hckrnews.com (so H for me). It's a good pointer that I really am procrastinating when I do it repeatedly in the space of a few minutes.


Yes, sadly. On my machine it is win+w - n + enter (new browser + hn ). If you don't want to waste your whole day on HN try the procrast settings in your profile. What works for me is every 70 minutes I get 10 minutes HN.

I started developing a site which domain starts with "news". Sometimes in some mysterious way that is the first. :)


I was used to <Ctrl> + T -> "new" -> Enter Never realized just the "n" would be sufficient. From now on, definitely 'am gonna use N + Enter


H enter for https://news.ycombinator.com Safari is smart enough to check the title tag


No because I disabled the awful auto-complete in Firefox. This place is the first drop-down entry for "n" though.


True. It used to be the best auto-complete out there, and for some reason it has become just as bad as Chrome's.


I just brain-deadedly tried that to see what it does and... yes, apparently. (plus the down arrow)


I use the letter 'Y' for y-combinator


Y, for me, is for YouTube.


No, I think I type news + Return (Firefox).


netvibes.com open in an tab aggregating the web and letting me know when more to read.


yes, on my laptop. On my iPad I start with 'h' to get hn.premii.com.


middle click the bookmark bar icon.


Yup.


Yes
