One of my favorites is keyboard shortcuts that help me to save time by quickly reading the list without touching mouse. On the Google Reader screen press ‘ ? ‘ to get all the shortcuts. I mostly use j for navigating to next item, t for tagging an item and s to apply star. Also ‘g+s‘ for directly going to all starred items.
Here are some other most useful keyboard shortcuts:
| j/k | item down/up | selects the next/previous item in the list |
| space/shift-space | page down/up | moves the page down/up |
| n/p | scan down/up | in list view, selects the next item without opening it |
| o | open/close item | in list view, expands or collapses the selected item |
| enter | open/close item | in list view, expands or collapses the selected item |
| s | toggle star | stars the selected item |
| shift+s | toggle share | shares the selected item |
| m | mark as read/unread | switches the read state of the selected item |

Even Google Reader got an easter egg :
