Hi, looking at the documentation for `gnus-summary-goto-unread':
>>>
If t, many commands will go to the next unread article.
This applies to marking commands as well as other commands that
"naturally" select the next article, like, for instance, `SPC' at
the end of an article.
If nil, the marking commands do NOT go to the next unread article
(they go to the next article instead). If `never', commands that
usually go to the next unread article, will go to the next article,
whether it is read or not.
<<<
But, actually, a lot of the time (almost always when explicitly
marking, in fact) I'd prefer _not to move anywhere at all_. I remember
from the old days that Rmail could be instructed that way, but I don't
see how to do it for Gnus. Note that just saving point or setting an
Emacs mark is not a solution, because moving also has the side effect
of making the next article read. TIA for ideas.

I found a workaround for the most common case, marking the current
article read (the 'r' mark). The workaround is C-SPC C-u C-w. Still,
it is a bit too long. Does nobody else really find this to be a
nuisance?
