### 2.2 Group Maneuvering

All movement commands understand the numeric prefix and will behave as expected, hopefully.

`n`
  Go to the next group that has unread articles (`gnus-group-next-unread-group`).
`p`
`DEL`
  Go to the previous group that has unread articles (`gnus-group-prev-unread-group`).
`N`
  Go to the next group (`gnus-group-next-group`).
`P`
  Go to the previous group (`gnus-group-prev-group`).
`M-n`
  Go to the next unread group on the same (or lower) level (`gnus-group-next-unread-group-same-level`).
`M-p`
  Go to the previous unread group on the same (or lower) level (`gnus-group-prev-unread-group-same-level`).

Three commands for jumping to groups:

`j`
  Jump to a group (and make it visible if it isn't already) (`gnus-group-jump-to-group`). Killed groups can be jumped to, just like living groups.
`,`
  Jump to the unread group with the lowest level (`gnus-group-best-unread-group`).
`.`
  Jump to the first group with unread articles (`gnus-group-first-unread-group`).

If `gnus-group-goto-unread` is `nil`, all the movement commands will move to the next group, not the next unread group. Even the commands that say they move to the next unread group. The default is `t`.

If `gnus-summary-next-group-on-exit` is `t`, when a summary is exited, the point in the group buffer is moved to the next unread group. Otherwise, the point is set to the group just exited. The default is `t`.
