Read long conversation the best way
Reddit discussions are often long, nested, and dense. If you read a lot of comments, you’ve probably found yourself scrolling endlessly, losing your place, or trying to jump between parent comments and replies.Thread Jumper gives you a faster, more intentional way to move through conversations without breaking your reading flow.
How it works
Keyboard-first by design
Thread Jumper adds simple, single-key shortcuts that let you navigate Reddit threads naturally while you read.• (N) Jump between parent comments
• (M) Step through replies within a thread
• (B) Move backward if you skip too far
• (T) Instantly return to the top of the page
• (I) Toggle instant scroll on or offAll without touching the mouse.
UI / EXPERIENCE
Minimal and unobtrusive
Thread Jumper runs quietly in the background and does not change the site's layout or behavior. A small floating button appears on the page and can be dragged anywhere you like. Once positioned, it stays out of the way.Use the button, the keyboard shortcuts, or both. Whatever feels natural.
Secure
Privacy first
Thread Jumper collects no data and includes no tracking. It runs locally on Reddit pages only, requires no accounts, and never sends information anywhere.Your reading stays private.

How to navigate Reddit comments faster
Reading Reddit comment threads can be frustrating, especially when discussions are long or deeply nested. Scrolling through hundreds of replies makes it easy to lose your place, skip important parent comments, or miss parts of the conversation entirely.Many Reddit readers want a faster way to move between parent comments, scan replies selectively, and return to where they left off without relying on constant mouse scrolling. Keyboard-based navigation makes this possible.Thread Jumper was built to solve this exact problem. It adds simple keyboard shortcuts that let you jump between parent comments, move through replies within a single thread, go back if you skipped too far, or return to the top of the page. This makes reading Reddit discussions feel more structured and intentional, especially in long threads.If you read Reddit for information, research, or thoughtful discussion, using keyboard shortcuts to navigate comments can significantly improve how quickly and comfortably you move through conversations.
