NRNews Reader

NR The reading pane for the News module — click any headline and the full article text (or the original site) opens here, beside the feed instead of over it.

what's inside

What the window holds

  • Full article text for the headline you opened
  • Falls back to the original site when a story cannot be extracted
  • One reader, reused by every headline click — your layout stays put
  • Shift-click a headline to open it in a second reader, for reading two stories side by side

good to know

Worth knowing

  • NR has no palette command on purpose — it opens (or comes forward) when you click a headline in News. Typing NR into ⌘K finds nothing; that is by design, because an empty reader is useless. Rows in the News feed are tinted while a reader is open on them, so you can see what you have already pulled up.
  • Clicking a headline that is already open brings its reader forward rather than reloading it, and with two readers open a plain click lands in whichever one you used last.
