+[Slack] has a couple of useful keyboard shortcuts for navigating between unread
+channels. Unfortunately these use an awkward combination of keys involving
+multiple modifiers and an arrow key (<span class="keyboard-shortcut">⌥⇧↓</span>
+and <span class="keyboard-shortcut">⌥⇧↑</span>). Additionally these shortcuts
+are not exposed in the menu bar, meaning they are not able to be modified with
+the [built-in support for such customisation in Mac OS X][custom-shortcuts].

+I have made a feature request for this to be addressed. Until the time that
+happens, if at all, the following [Karabiner] config can be used to change the
+next unread shortcut to something more sane. I chose
+<span class="keyboard-shortcut">⌘J</span>:
