Maybe I’m doing it wrong or this is intended. But when I am on latest and see new updates, I want to x,r or x,t. Doesn’t work. When I go to the new tab/page, it works.

Don’t know if there’s other shortcuts that may be more beneficial to ux if available on all pages.

Well, do you see these buttons on latest? 😉

I am unsure what you’re trying to say.

Those buttons do not exist on the Latest page. You wouldn’t want to run this shortcut from that page, as the affects are not easily distinguishable. On New and Unread, they are easy to distinguish what those buttons will do, you can’t do that from Latest, Top, a Category, viewing a Topic, etc.

Thank you for explaining. I understand now. Ehh, oh well. I hate having to switch tabs just to dismiss.

검색해 보다가 제 질문과 매우 관련이 있는 주제를 발견해서 여기에만 작성합니다.

오래된 토픽에 대한 새 답변 알림을 '닫기(Dismiss)'하고 싶은 경우가 많습니다.  
이를 위해 단축키 x, r 또는 x,t를 사용하려고 합니다.

하지만 문제는 ‘토픽 닫기(Dismiss Topics)’ 단축키(그리고 ‘새 게시물 닫기(Dismiss new Posts)’ 단축키는 언제 어디서 작동하는지 모르겠습니다)가 이미 ‘읽지 않음(Unread)’ 페이지에 있을 때만 작동한다는 점입니다.  
여기서 두 가지 질문이 있습니다:

- 관련 명령어는 ‘새 게시물 닫기(Dismiss New Posts)’(단축키 x, r와 연결됨)로 명명되어야 하지 않나요? 그리고 '새 토픽 닫기(Dismiss New Topics)'는 '새 게시물’이 아니라 '새 토픽’을 닫는 것을 의미해야 합니다. 제 의도가 명확히 전달되었기를 바랍니다.
- 이 단축키를 사용하려면 왜 먼저 ‘읽지 않음’ 게시물로 이동해야 하나요. 홈 페이지에서 바로 ‘읽지 않은 새 게시물/답변’ 알림을 지우는 명령을 내릴 수 없나요?

다른 말로 하면, x,r과 x,t가 각각 어떤 상황에서 작동해야 하는지 다소 혼란스럽습니다.  
또한 제 아바타/프로필 사진에 표시되는 ‘새 알림’ 버블을 지우는 키보드 단축키를 찾을 수 없었습니다. 이를 위한 KBS(키보드 단축키)가 없나요?

감사합니다.
