block element - post navigation by keyboard

Hi there,

I am not sure I understand.
Are you wanting to allow users too use Keyboard control of the navigation ?

Hi David,

Thanks for asking.

Yes, navigation with the left-right arrow keys.

The code provided here should still work:

Its a PHP Snippet - this doc explains how to add to the site:

Thanks David,

I will try it - and will let you know.

Best regards,
Boris

Please do :)

Hi David,

Thanks for the support.
It works! The users can now navigate from post to post using the keyboard. Now my question is, how can the function be defined/restricted for certain post categories? And even better: could i define if it works in carousel mode (like for a slider) or not, is that possible?

Thanks and best regards,
Boris

You can limit to the 'same category' as the current post.
In the code look for:

get_previous_post() and get_next_post()

change it to:

get_previous_post(true) and get_next_post(true)

The carousel/slider function isn't something I can help with - that would require a plugin or custom development

Hi David,
Thank you for the prompt reply!

Unfortunately, I can't use the code to limit / to connect the Keyboard-navigation-function to one post category.
I'll look for other solutions now...

Thanks and best regards,
Boris

No problem, sorry I could provide a solution, I hope you find one!
