bug#35213: Summary commands to go to the next/previous unseen article

[Michael Heerdegen]

Hello,

this is a request to add commands `gnus-summary-next-unseen-article' and
`gnus-summary-prev-unseen-article'; analogue to
`gnus-summary-next-unread-article' and
`gnus-summary-prev-unread-article', but for unseen instead of unread
articles.

These commands would fit a, I think, quite common use case: you read
mails, but you're short of time and didn't read everything so you leave
unread articles.  When you check the next time, you may want to have a
look to only unseen articles to see if there is something new that is
important.

You currently can only do / . (`gnus-summary-limit-to-unseen'), but you
loose the thread display, so being able to move by unseen articles would
be comfortable.


Thanks,

Michael.

Sounds like a good idea.  What keystrokes would these be bound to?

I have no clue.  , and . would be cool and intuitive, but they are
already occupied.  I have no preference for other keys so far, maybe
others have a good idea.

Quotes are unused: '´` - maybe these would make sense?  I think these
new commands would be used quite frequently, so a one-key binding would
make sense.  If I was me, I would really vote for , and ..

` is free, but ' is taken, and we need a key pair.

I use the current `.' and `,' commands quite frequently, so I don't want
to rebind them.

The summary keymap is very...  full...  But one unshifted pair that's not
taken is [ and ].

I've now done this.  If somebody has better ideas for the key bindings,
feel free to modify.

Thank you very much.  I am happy!
