### Working with Headlines

Liferea knows two display modes:

| Email client like - The upper right pane contains a list of all headlines of the selected feed and the selected headline is shown in the lower right pane.
| Condensed View - The right pane contains a combined display of all headlines of the selected feed.

You can change between these modes by selecting "Condensed View" from either the item lists or the item views context menu. This is a per-feed settting so you can view each feed in the mode that fits best.

#### Launching an Item Link

To open the link the item refers to double click on the item or for keyboard users select the item and press return. Note that not each item provides a link! If the item provides a link the item title text in the item views header box is a hyperlink.

To learn how to configure the browser that is used to open links refer to the Program Preferences section!

#### Changing the Read Status

A headline has a read state. Unread items are marked bold. If you click on an item the read status changes to read and the items list entry text style becomes regular. This features also works if you use the keyboard.

Sometimes you may not want to read the headlines of a subscription. To mark all unread at once select "Mark all as unread" from either the items menu or the context menu of the item list.

There is also the possibility to change back the item read status. Select "Toggle Read Flag" from the items menu or click the headline with the third mouse button to achieve this.

#### Flagging Items

Liferea allows you to mark items with a flag. This is useful to easily find these items and to prevent them from being dropped from the cache when aging. To do so select "Toggle Flag" from the item menu or click the icon column of the headline list with the third mouse button.

#### Jump to Next Unread Item

When using this feature by either clicking the button in the toolbar or using the hotkey (Ctrl-N) you will be able to access all unread items very fast. The program will first jump to the next unread item in the currently displayed item list and when there are no unread items it will select the first unread item in the first feed of the feed list that contains unread items.

#### Searching Items

There is the possibility to search all items which contain a specific literal either in their title or their content by using the search box. Please refer to the Searching section!

#### Removing Items

By selecting "Remove All Items" from the items menu you can clear the item cache of the currently selected feed. If you only want to remove a single by choosing the "Remove Selected" option.
