programically activate gmails older and newer email buttons

Question

These two buttons are from gmail. They let you go left and right through more emails.

How do I click these buttons using javascript and jquery? I'm willing to use extra libraries if necessary. I'm trying to make a shortcut that lets me use keyboard buttons to click and go to older or newer emails.

Answer 1

let me know if it helps:-

$(document).keydown(function(e) {
    switch(e.which) {
        case 37: // left
        break;    

        case 39: // right
        break;    

        default: return; // exit this handler for other keys
    }
    e.preventDefault(); // prevent the default action (scroll / move caret)
});
