Previously the patch_explorer and merge_conflicts controllers reused
Universal.PrevBlock/NextBlock for moving between hunks (or conflicts) in the
main view, sharing keys with the global side-window cycle. The two operations
are conceptually distinct: cycling side windows is a global navigation gesture,
while next/prev hunk acts on the diff in the main view. Tying them together also
blocks adding <tab>/<backtab> as side- window-cycle keys, because <tab> already
means "toggle panel" in the staging view.
Add Main.PrevHunk/NextHunk to the existing KeybindingMainConfig (which already
groups bindings for the main view across staging, patch building, and merge
conflicts) and switch both controllers to it. The defaults match the active key
set those controllers had before (<left>/<right>/h/l), so the user-visible
behavior is unchanged.
Now that quit accepts multiple keys, the historical quit-alt1 field is
redundant: existing configs that set it should keep working without the user
having to migrate, but the lazygit code shouldn't have to register the alt
binding separately.
Add a merge step that runs after the user config is loaded (and from
NewDummyAppConfig, which the cheatsheet generator and integration tests go
through) folding the alt value into the main key list. Mark QuitAlt1 deprecated
so it disappears from the generated Config.md example, while staying in the JSON
schema with a description so editors can still steer users toward the new form.
Note that instead of marking the alt config as deprecated, we could have added a
migrator that changes users' config files and gets rid of the alt config for
good. I decided not to do that, because this would render the config file
invalid for older versions of lazygit, which would then refuse to start; and
that's annoying when bisecting bugs. We'll keep the deprecated configs in the
code for a year or so, and then add the migrator.
The next commit will fold the remaining ~15 -alt-style fields the same way; the
helper is shaped to keep that mechanical.
While I strongly prefer the alt-arrow bindings myself, I'm worried that existing
users might not be happy about the change, so I'm reverting it.
I'm working on supporting multiple keybindings for every command, so once that's
in, we can change the default to include both.
This changes not only how we store modifiers (inside of Key instead of passing
it separately), but also how we parse keybinding strings: it supports all
combinations of modifiers now (if the terminal supports it, that is).
For the branches panel we might consider unifying it with the existing `o`
command for creating a PR: it could check if there is a PR already, and open it
if so, or create a new one if not.
However, I also want the command in the local commits panel for the checked out
branch, and there's no existing "Create PR" command there; and the `o` command
opens the selected commit in the browser, so it's unrelated.
This commit implements the ability to cycle backward through different
all branches log visualization modes, complementing the existing forward
cycling functionality. Users can now press 'A' (Shift+a) to cycle in
reverse through the available log graph views, improving navigation
efficiency when they overshoot their desired view.
Changes:
- Added RotateAllBranchesLogIdxBackward() method to BranchCommands for
backward rotation through log command candidates
- Introduced AllBranchesLogGraphReverse keybinding configuration with
default key 'A' (uppercase)
- Implemented switchToOrRotateAllBranchesLogsBackward() handler in
StatusController that mirrors forward cycling logic
- Added English translation for "Show/cycle all branch logs (reverse)"
The implementation uses modulo arithmetic with proper handling of
negative indices to ensure seamless backward cycling through the
available log visualization options.
Change working tree files and commit files panels to use filtering
(reducing the list) instead of search (highlighting matches). This
matches the behavior of other filterable views.
The text filter matches against the full file path, not just the
filename, which is more useful for navigating large directory trees.
When toggling a directory for a custom patch while a text filter is
active, only the visible filtered files in the directory are affected,
consistent with how staging a directory in the files panel works.

I always press 'd' in the patch building view, expecting that I can do
exactly what I can do in the staging view, to find out I need to go
space -> ctrl+p -> d and I think it's time to honour the muscle memory
and support this convenience keybinding.
I've optimised for muscle memory backwards compatibility here:
- Outside interactive rebase: press 'f' then instead of a confirmation
panel, a menu appears where you can choose to keep the selected commit's
message
- Inside interactive rebase: press 'f' then press 'c' to see the menu
for keeping the message, where if you press 'c' again it will retain the
current message. so 'fcc' is the chord to press.
We're also now showing the -C flag (which is what enables the behaviour)
against the todo.
I've picked the 'c' keybinding because 'C' was taken and it corresponds
to the flag. Previously that showed a warning about a change in
keybinding for cherry picking but it's been ages since we've made that
change so I'm happy to retire it.
The plan is to keep the original docs and schema folders unchanged for the
duration of a release; we'll only continuously update the -master copies. Right
before a new release we will copy them over.
