FeedGhost Reading Tip


Posted on 07 Nov 2007 13:00

I normally read my feeds first thing in the morning, I have approximately a 100 feeds I'm currently subscribed to so I like to optimize my reading experience for speed... Part of my reading habit includes saving some articles (normally news ones) until the end of my main reading frenzy, I achieve this by firing up a new tab for each article I want to read later, the example image below shows two article tabs ready to be read in my copy of FeedGhost:

Under normal circumstances to fire up an article tab you double click on the news article in the list view or under the river view you click on the article title. The big problem with this however is by default focus is instantly taken to the new tab, forcing you to click back to the subscriptions tab to continue your main reading. FeedGhost comes to the rescue here with two solutions. The first solution is by keeping your finger on the left alt key whilst invoking the article tab the focus is kept with the subscriptions tab. The other solution is to change the default behavior; under the options dialog there is a check box option "Don't switch to the new tab" via the "Reading" tab:

If you check this then focus won't be set when a new article tab is created, conversely the alt key behavior mentioned earlier then changes to put focus on the new article tab when pressed.
