The keyboard shortcuts to manage the level of atention to a topic are not working for me, neither in firefox nor chrome.

It is very comfortable to hit m+r when i am not interested any more in the topic i am reading, but it is not working for me.

Other shortcuts that are **not working** for me are

m+t to track the topic  
m+r to watch the topic  
m+wto normalize the level of atention  
m+m to mute the topic

Looking at the existing keyboard logic and the output HTML of the dropdown, the keyboard shortcuts need a lot of love and will have to be done a different way now.

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/keyboard-shortcuts.js.es6#L35-L38](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/keyboard-shortcuts.js.es6#L35-L38)

It is no longer `div.notification-options`, it is `span.notification-options`, but more importantly, there is no list of options in the HTML output anymore (until the dropdown is clicked upon).

So with that in mind, it will need to use a different process for invoking these commands. I’ll see if I can track it down later this afternoon.
