Vienna is an excellent rss reader, but it’s not perfect. One of my biggest complaints is it’s lack of a hot key to toggle the display filtering of the articles. There are a variety of methods to assign key combinations to various application and desktop functions, but my preferred method is Quicksilver triggers.
Assign this applescript to a trigger, and you will then be able to use a key combo to cycle thru the 4 filter modes: All Articles, Unread Articles, Last Refresh, and Today. The script cycles thru the 4 modes in order.
tell application "Vienna"
set x to (get filter by)
— set to Unread Articles, if showing All
if (x = 0) then
set filter by to 1
— set to Last Refresh, if showing Unread Articles
else if (x = 1) then
set filter by to 2
— set to Today, if showing Last Refresh
else if (x = 2) then
set filter by to 3
— set to All Articles if showing Today
else if (x = 3) then
set filter by to 0
end if
end tell
