Describe the problem you’re having:

The functionality of the Mark as read button changed wth commit 720b318796 and now it needs two instead of one click to mark all articles as read. This does not sound much but when going through a lot of feeds it quickly gets annoying.

With the fox.form.ComboButton a click on the element marked everything as read and If I wanted to just mark a subset as read I could click on the arrow to get more options. With the fox.form.Select it always displays the list with all options.

Include steps to reproduce the problem:

Switch between commit 720b318796 and 3ef9bb5b58.

tt-rss version (including git commit id):

720b318796

Platform (i.e. Linux distro, PHP, PostgreSQL, etc) versions:

Debian 11, PHP 7.4, MariaDB 10.5.12

Please provide any additional information below:

Would be nice if the old behavior could be restored.

i’m afraid you’ll just have to deal with it.

this sounds like a workflow problem to me.

If only there was a keyboard short cut for just that…

Thanks, I never noticed ttrss has keyboard shortcuts :sweat_smile: This should work as an alternative.

Now, if only I could remember what it was … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :man_facepalming:

The shortcut is Shift+Q.

Shift/ has a helpful list of shortcuts...

Yes, that is ? :wink:

Not sure what to make of the notion that a fix for a graphical misalignment resulting in additional steps to complete a common task is deemed a “workflow problem” - I think marking entire feeds as read is a pretty common task (at least for me - I have feeds set up that I like to read when I have time, but if I don’t I’ll just mark them read to keep things clean on my feed list). One click for that was a much better UX than having to use mouse to select a feed then keyboard (f then q).

I think the even easier workaround/better experience than the keyboard shortcut is right clicking on the feed in the left panel then selecting mark read, since you’re using one tool (mouse) to do it and staying in the general vicinity of the feed as opposed to going to the opposite side of the screen.

performing - manually - repetitive tasks which are easily automated is a workflow problem, yes, at least as far as i’m concerned.

tt-rss has many features that free you from clicking on buttons again and again and again precisely because of this.

for me this is a problem that has been badly fixed and has generated a new issue.
