Threads: J/K keys to jump between posts

Adds J and K keyboard shortcuts that scroll the feed to the next and previous post.

Code to copy

// Keyboard: press J / K to step between posts in the feed
let idx = -1;
function posts() {
  return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[data-pressable-container]'))
    .filter(p => p.offsetParent !== null);
}
document.addEventListener('keydown', e => {
  if (e.target.matches('input, textarea, [contenteditable="true"]')) return;
  const key = e.key.toLowerCase();
  if (key !== 'j' && key !== 'k') return;
  const list = posts();
  if (!list.length) return;
  idx = key === 'j' ? Math.min(idx + 1, list.length - 1) : Math.max(idx - 1, 0);
  list[idx].scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'center' });
});
