You can use keyboard shortcuts to move quickly through Google Groups.
Note: To use single-letter keyboard shortcuts on a screen reader with different modes, use focus mode (for NVDA) or turn off the virtual cursor (for JAWS).
Use shortcuts
Until early 2025, you can use new and old shortcuts. After that time, only new shortcuts will work.
