Moving to the next news group

Moving to the next news group

[David Sumbler]

I used to use "k" and/or "n" repeatedly to go through news groups.
Quite often there are no articles that I actually want to read, so
fetching the articles was a bit pointless, and the article buffer got
in the way of the summary buffer for no good reason.

So now I am using "C-k" and "M-n", which do much the same as "k" and
"n" but without actually displaying the articles.  Much better.

However, one other difference is that when I reach the end of a
newsgroup, "C-k" and "M-n" just tell me that there are no more
articles, whereas "k" and "n" would take me to the next newsgroup with
unread articles.

How can I go to the next relevant newsgroup, without displaying the
first article?  At the moment I am having to do "q . RET", which is
not very efficient.

    Z N runs the command gnus-summary-next-group

    Exit current newsgroup and then select next unread newsgroup. If
    prefix argument NO-ARTICLE is non-nil, no article is selected
    initially. [...]

(Also see `gnus-auto-select-first'.)

Thanks for the help.  'Z N' with a prefix is a bit ungainly, so I
tried your other suggestion.  I had to have quite a lot of goes at
getting the syntax right for 'gnus-auto-select-first' and
'gnus-select-group-hool', but I got there in the end.  Works a treat.
