No, these buttons in the Go menu wouldn't change the view at all.

The "Unread" checkbox being checked means that Next/Prev would
go to the next or previous article.

Maybe it would be clearer if the menu buttons used elipses
to join the actions and the modifiers:

        Read More (space)
        Read Less (backspace)
