Feature requet: button for jumping to the next top-level comment - eviltoast

Apologies if this has been posted before, or implemented without me finding how to do it.

Would be great if there’d be a button for jumping to the next top-level comment. Possibly at the lower-right corner, as some other apps. Long-press for previous would be great, too.

Yes, I know there’s support for collapsing comments. But you have to have it in view to do that. If you’re browsing a long thread and want to jump to the next top-level comment, it becomes a bit of a chore.

    Oh I see. Would’ve expected collapse thread swipe option to collapse all child comments of the specific comment that is swiped, not entire thread from top-level.

      Hmm, the name might not be the best. Any suggestions? Needs to be somewhat short too

        Haven given it some more thought, I think the issue is, that what I was looking for was specifically “take me to the next top level comment”. Not “collapse current thread”. In actual effect, it doesn’t make much difference. Nevertheless, it is like taking a detour to get to the destination.

        Perhaps both (collapse thread; jump to next top-level comment) could be swipeable options?

        Maybe a floating button, visible when viewing posts with comments, could be seen when “jump to next” hasn’t been chosen as a swipe-option? That way, the option will be clearly in place out of the box, but won’t be an eyesore for those who have set up a swipe for the action?
