Feeds specify their own name, but you may want to change it to something easier to remember. ‘Brent’ rather than ‘inessential’, for example. You also change this later in the [feed inspector].

Before you add a feed, you can choose the account and folder where it will be saved.

This option is especially important if you’re using multiple accounts. You can choose whether to save the subscription to your [On My Mac](on-my-mac.html) account or [Feedbin] account.

## What to do when NetNewsWire can’t find a feed

|

Sometimes NetNewsWire won’t be able to find a feed for a site. Either the site doesn’t offer a feed, or the feed isn’t advertised in a way that NetNewsWire can find it.

You may be able to find a feed manually by visiting the site. There, look for a link to an RSS, Atom or JSON feed. If one exists, you can add this direct URL to NetNewsWire using the process above. Right-click on the link and copy the URL to paste into NetNewsWire.

|

# Keyboard shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
NetNewsWire’s interface is easily navigable using keyboard shortcuts.
|
||||
|
||||
The most useful shortcuts are for reading articles: **space** to scroll articles and jump to the next unread one, or **n** to jump immediately to the next unread article. There’s also **b** to open the article in your browser (the **Return** or **Enter** keys work too).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In-app list of keyboard shortcuts
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A comprehensive list of NetNewsWire’s keyboard shortcuts is always accessible to you in NetNewsWire. Just click on **Help → Keyboard Shortcuts** in the menu bar.
|
||||
|
||||
The list opens in a separate window which you can leave open to remind you of the keys to press. *You’ll be a NetNewsWire keyboard magician in no time.*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Do I need to use the Command key?
|
||||
|
||||
No, the Command (⌘) key isn’t required for these advanced keyboard shortcuts – just press the key by itself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
NetNewsWire’s keyboard shortcuts
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Many of NetNewsWire’s shortcuts work from anywhere in the app. Others only work when a certain pane is active and highlighted.

If you want to skip the article for now, but plan to come back to it later, the **m** key is for you. Pressing it will mark the current article as unread and then go to the *next unread* item.
