Just rebind whatever key you use for group entry to do gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group before its usual function. If you really didn't want it to only work for one keybinding, you could advise gnus-group-select-group, but I wouldn't recommend that. > I'd also like to have an rn-like option to fetch new news just as > you're about to leave a group. This one is a bit trickier. I mean, it's easy to do a gnus-summary-rescan-group by hand, but doing the sort of prompting that you refer to would actually require a little bit of work. > And while I'm dreaming, short key sequences to get straight to new > news in my inbox and other important groups from wherever I happen > to be. Easy from the *Group* buffer, trickier if you want it to really be from wherever you might happen to be. Doable, but not trivial. Especially if you want to be able to get back to where you were before you made that jump. One thing that I've done is define two sets of group-entry keys. One of them enters the group in the manner that I normally view groups, with scoring, threading, etc. Well, I didn't do anything for these. These are just the ones that I didn't rebind. The other will get new news for that group before entering it, turn off most of the threading and scoring stuff, and sort in reverse chronological order. That way I am instantly reading the most-recently received message. Some of the time, in a few of my groups, that is exactly what I want. -- Justin Sheehy In a cloud bones of steel.
