When the diff re-renders for a new pager (or a changed context size),
PreserveDiffPositionOnRerender restored the cursor by patch identity but left
the selection's other end — the range anchor — pinned to its old view line. A
pager that restructures the diff (delta side-by-side is the clearest case)
then left the selection spanning the wrong range of patch lines. Remember the
far end by patch identity too and put it back the same way, so the selection
covers the same lines however the new pager lays them out. One mechanism now
restores both ends, covering hunk and range selections alike; a single-line
selection still needs only the cursor.

Clicking the staged/unstaged pane you weren't focused on selected a single
line the first time, even in hunk mode, because that pane's select mode was
still its default until it had been focused once (tabbing to it and back was
the workaround). Seed the clicked pane's mode from the one we're leaving so
the very first click there behaves like every later one.

Once in hunk mode, clicking another change line reset the selection to a
single line, so you had to press `a` again for each block you wanted to
stage (a behaviour the main view inherited from the staging and patch-
building panels). Preserve hunk mode across clicks instead: a click on a
change line re-selects that whole block, while a click on context — or any
click when we weren't in hunk mode — drops to a single line, where the click
points precisely (e.g. to edit it).
The two click handlers shared an identical selection body, so unify them
into one helper and make the change in a single place.

Focusing the main view by keyboard already selects a whole change block in
hunk mode; a click, though, only ever placed a single-line selection, so the
common "click the diff to stage this block" gesture still needed a follow-up
`a`. Now a click on a change line selects that line's block too. A click on
context still selects just that line, since the click points at it precisely
(e.g. to edit it with `e`).

§10 now lists diff-so-fancy alongside delta and difftastic: the same #2 case as
delta's default (strips +/- markers, conveys side by color) but a line-oriented
Perl filter, unified-only, and -- the one wrinkle worth stating in the spec --
it strips terminal escapes from its content, so the record is prepended to the
line rather than embedded. Fix the now-stale "all three"/"both pagers" counts.

Record the third pager emitter (diff-so-fancy, commit c397cd6 on its
prototype-osc-metadata branch): the simplest of the three -- a line-oriented
Perl filter, unified single-column only, the same #2 category as delta's
default. Captures the diff-so-fancy-specific findings: sanitize_display strips
OSC so the record is prepended not embedded; the path is derived from
$file_1/$file_2 (not $last_file_seen, which is empty for a noprefix deletion);
combined diffs skipped; counters are file-scope globals so a chunk-spanning hunk
keeps counting; classification mirrors strip_leading_indicators so the
no-newline marker is correctly skipped.

Add §4.4: a conforming pager emits a version-only OSC 1717 record (no further
fields) as its first output, so a host can probe it on an empty diff — which
emits no per-line records — and tell "speaks the protocol" apart from
"unsupported pager", content-independently. Used by the focused main view's
raw-diff fallback to decide whether a pager's output is actionable.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A metadata-aware pager emits a version-only OSC 1717 record (no fields) as its
first output, to announce it speaks the diff-line-metadata protocol so lazygit
can probe for it. It isn't per-line metadata, so on a real render it must be
swallowed whole rather than lingering in the accumulator and attaching to the
following diff-header line (or, if newline-terminated, producing a phantom blank
line). Drop any OSC 1717 payload with no fields at its terminator; per-line
payloads always have fields, so they're kept.

Wire the remaining diff panels — local commits, sub-commits, commit files,
stash, and reflog — into the focused main view's raw-diff fallback, the same way
the files panel already is: each computes DiffMainViewShouldRenderRaw and renders
its diff raw (no pager) when focused under a pager whose output we can't resolve,
so its selection stays toggleable into a custom patch (or, for reflog, navigable
and copyable).
The commit-diff panels build their diff through the diff helper, which can't
reach the staging helper, so the panel computes renderRaw and passes it in.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Prep for extending the focused main view's raw-diff fallback beyond the files
panel. ShowCmdObj, ShowFileDiffCmdObj, ShowStashEntryCmdObj and DiffCmdObj gain
the ignoreExternalDiff arg WorktreeFileDiffCmdObj already has — forcing git's own
coloured diff regardless of a configured external diff command. All callers pass
false, so behaviour is unchanged.
Also lift the pty-vs-command task choice out of the files controller into
types.NewMainViewDiffTask(WithPrefix), so the commit/stash/patch-building panels
(whose diffs are built in the diff helper, which can't reach the staging helper)
can select the same raw-fallback task.

The focused main view is the staging surface, so it has to resolve the diff it
shows to patch-space. A pager that restructures the diff without emitting our
metadata (stock delta-default, plain difftastic, `cat -n`) produces output the
buffer parser can't read, which would leave its diff unstageable.
When such a diff is focused, re-render it raw — git's own colour, no pager — the
same content a no-pager setup shows, which the buffer parser handles. Browsing
keeps the pretty pager output; only focusing to act switches to raw.
Whether the pager is usable is decided by probing it: run it on empty input and
look for the version-only OSC 1717 handshake a metadata-aware pager emits first.
This is a pager-level, content-independent fact (a binary file, which has no
change lines under any pager, can't mislead it) and it's known before we render,
so we never render pretty only to discover mid-flight that we should have rendered
raw. The verdict is cached per pager (reset when the pager changes). No PTY is
needed — git needs a terminal to decide to invoke a pager, but the pager emits the
handshake regardless. A git-config external diff driver (useExternalDiffGitConfig)
is chosen per file via .gitattributes and a single diff can mix drivers, so
there's no one pager to probe; it's treated as unsupported (always raw).
Bypassing the pager needs two things, since a pager reaches the diff by two
routes: an external diff command (suppressed in the cmd via the new
ignoreExternalDiff arg, keeping git's colour, unlike plain) and a stdin pager
(GIT_PAGER, applied by the pty task — so the raw render uses a plain command
task instead).
This wires the files panel; the commit/stash/patch-building panels follow.

`ctrl+o` in the focused main view copies the selection to the clipboard,
mirroring the staging view's copy. Unlike stage / discard, copying is the same
for every diff panel — it just reads the text shown — so it's a direct
MainViewController command rather than a FocusedMainViewActions method. That
keeps it free of per-panel duplication and lets it work over panels that have
no actions, notably the reflog.
The +/- prefix handling is metadata-aware where it matters: with no pager the
main view shows the raw diff, so a homogeneous selection has its +/-/space
column stripped (dropDiffPrefix) to ease pasting into code. With a pager
configured the rendered lines carry no such column, so stripping a leading
character would eat real content — copy verbatim instead. (Refining the raw
case to classify header lines via the diff-line metadata, fixing the
'--- a/file' edge case noted in 159bbb0825, is left for later.)

The focused main view always showed a selection while it held focus, even when
its content was a placeholder ("No changed files", a merge-conflict message)
rather than a diff — so pressing a navigation key conjured a highlighted line
over "No changed files", and discarding the last change (or changes vanishing
outside lazygit) left a stale selection behind.
A selection should only show when there are change lines to act on. Two
moments establish or change the content:
- Focus: showInitialDiffSelection now leaves the selection off when the view
has no change lines (ViewHasChangeLines), rather than highlighting a stray
line at the top.
- Render: the side panel's render-to-main is where it decides between a diff
and a placeholder, so that's where the selection's visibility is set —
updateFocusedMainViewSelectionVisibility shows it only on the focused pane
and only when a diff is being rendered. This covers the refresh cases that
focus can't: discarding the last change, and changes disappearing or
reappearing outside lazygit, all hide or restore the selection on the next
refresh. (Focusing reuses the already-rendered content rather than
re-rendering, which is why focus needs its own check.)
Wired into the files panel, where placeholders occur; the commit panels always
render a diff. Adds a SelectionIsShown/SelectionIsHidden test assertion.

Wire the focused main view's `d` binding to a DiscardSelection action on the
side panel beneath, the discard counterpart of the primary action. As with
stage/toggle, what discard means is the panel's business:
- the files panel discards from the working tree, mirroring the staging
view's `d` — reverse-apply not cached on the unstaged side (destructive, so
confirmed), reverse-apply cached on the staged side (i.e. unstage);
- the commit panels (commit files, and the whole-commit diff of the local
commits / sub-commits / stash panels) remove the selected lines from the
commit via a rebase, mirroring the patch builder's "discard lines from
commit" — building a one-off patch from the selection and deleting it.
The commit-discard backend and its guard are shared free functions in
patch_building_from_main_view.go, paralleling the patch toggle. Discarding
from a commit is only possible on a local branch, so DiscardSelection grows a
disabled-reason companion on the FocusedMainViewActions interface: the `d`
binding is greyed with a reason on stash and other-branch sub-commits (never
rebaseable) and while a rebase is in progress, exactly as the patch builder
greys it. The files panel is always available (a zero-context diff is the one
error it reports inline, matching the staging view).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The focused main view's discard command (coming next) needs to read either
side's diff and apply a patch with an arbitrary direction and target: discard
from the working tree reads the unstaged diff but applies a reverse patch that
is not cached. stageDiffLines couldn't express that — it used a single reverse
flag both to pick which diff to read and to reverse the apply, and hardcoded
Cached: true.
The read side and the apply direction are independent (they coincide only for
staging and unstaging), so split them: applyDiffLines now takes sourceCached
(which diff to read) and a git_commands.ApplyPatchOpts (how to apply). Renamed
from stageDiffLines since it now covers stage, unstage, and discard. Staging
passes the same values as before, preserving behavior.

Each command a side panel handles in the focused main view needed its own
delegation channel: a HasKeybindings getter, an IBaseContext Add method, a
BaseContext field + getter, a baseController nil default, and an attach.go
registration — roughly five touch points per command. With three commands
(click, stage, toggle-patch) that was already a lot of boilerplate, and it
doesn't scale to the discard / copy commands coming next.
Replace the three channels with one: a side panel exposes a single
FocusedMainViewActions interface via GetFocusedMainViewActions (nil when its
diff offers no actions), and the controllers implement that interface
directly. The stage and toggle-patch handlers, already unified to a plain
error return, become one PrimaryAction method whose meaning is the panel's
business (stage for the files panel, patch toggle for the commit panels);
the click handler becomes OnClick. MainViewController is now a thin
dispatcher: fetch the actions from the panel beneath, call the method.
Adding a command is now one interface method, an implementation in the two
or three controllers, and a keybinding — no plumbing.
The toggle-patch channel did double duty as the "this panel builds a custom
patch" signal for the inclusion gutter (shown only beneath a patch-building
panel, not the staging files panel). Collapsing the channels removes that
proxy, so make the classification explicit on DiffMainViewContext, whose
marker method now returns a DiffMainViewType (none / staging / patch-building)
instead of being a bare marker. The gutter shows only beneath a panel whose
type is patch-building (commit files, local commits, sub-commits, stash).
Behavior-preserving.

The focused main view's space binding delegates to the side panel beneath
it, but the two handlers were asymmetric: the patch-toggle handler did its
own re-render and re-established the selection itself, while the staging
handler returned a focusViewName so the dispatcher (stageRange) could do the
reveal-and-focus dance on its behalf. That split blocks collapsing the
per-command handler channels into one, since the two have different return
types.
Make staging match the toggle: GetOnStageFocusedMainView returns plain
error, and the FilesController handler does the post-staging reveal and pane
focus itself. The reveal/select-mode logic the two handlers shared (collapse
a range to a line, preserve the change-line ordinal across the re-render,
re-expand a hunk) is extracted into revealSelectionAfterPrimaryAction, with
mainContextForViewName resolving a main view name to its context. The
dispatcher is now uniform: read the selected range, hand it to whichever
handler the panel registered.
Behavior-preserving.

Until now space toggled lines into a custom patch only from the commit files
main view (the per-file diff). Register the same toggle handler on the commits,
sub-commits and stash panels, so a patch can be built straight from the
whole-commit (multi-file) diff their main view shows, without first diving into
the commit files panel.
The handler lives on SwitchToDiffFilesController, which is already bound to
exactly those three panels and already knows how to derive the patch target
(from/to/reverse/canRebase) for the selected ref — pulled out of enter() into a
shared canRebase helper and the reused FromAndToForDiff. The post-toggle refresh
is the cheap one: these panels have no per-file patch indicator to update, so we
just re-render their own main + secondary views rather than reloading the whole
commit list on every keystroke.
Sub-commits and stash didn't render the secondary patch view at all; give them
the same secondaryPatchPanelUpdateOpts the commits panel uses, and recompute the
inclusion gutter as their diff (re-)renders, so the cumulative patch and the
gutter track the toggle.

The next commit adds patch building from the commits / sub-commits / stash
main views, which toggle the same way as the commit files main view; only the
patch target and the post-toggle refresh differ. Pull the panel-agnostic back
end (the toggle skeleton, the line toggle, the post-toggle reveal, the patch
filename mapping) into shared free functions so both controllers reuse it.
The skeleton now takes the patch target (from/to/reverse/canRebase) and a
refresh callback as parameters rather than reading them from the commit files
context and hardcoding Refresh({COMMIT_FILES}). The commit files handler passes
exactly what it did before, so behaviour is unchanged.

Records the fix for the §21.20 live-update gap: the patch toggle now

Pressing space in the commit-files focused main view now toggles the
selected line(s)/hunk into or out of the custom patch, instead of being a
no-op. It's the patch-building counterpart of working-tree staging from
the main view: the selection is resolved to change-line identities the
same way (ChangeLinesInViewRange), then mapped to the patch builder's
per-file line indices and added or removed.
The crux is that the commit's diff is unchanged by a toggle — only the
inclusion set changes — so unlike staging there's no async re-render to
ride. Membership is shown by an on-demand inclusion gutter: a reserved
left column painted with a marker on every change line currently in the
patch, recomputed synchronously after each toggle and on focusing the
main view, over the existing pager output. This is what lets patch
building work over a restructuring pager at all, where the old green
first-char overlay (which rewrites the rendered bytes) can't.
space routes to staging or patch building based on which handler the
panel beneath registers, via a new onTogglePatchFocusedMainView channel
(kept separate from staging because the post-action differs: sync gutter
repaint vs async reveal). Scoped to the commit-files panel for now;
commits/sub-commits/stash and the whole-commit multi-file diff follow.

Prep for routing space to custom-patch building when the panel beneath
the focused main view is a commits/commit-files panel. stageSelectedLine

The patch builder works in patch-line-index space, which the patch
explorer can supply directly from its parsed-patch state. The focused
main view can't: it only knows a selection as diff-line metadata
identities (file line number + deletion?), and those indices differ
between the raw diff and however a pager renders it.
Add the conversion at the boundary so the main view stays in identity
space: PatchLineIndicesForLines maps identities to indices (for
toggling) and IncludedLineIdentities reports the included change lines
as identities (for the inclusion gutter to match rendered rows against).

A reserved left-hand column that draws a per-line marker glyph and shifts
the content right past it, for the custom-patch inclusion overlay (which
needs to show which change lines are in the patch over arbitrary pager
output, where it can't touch the rendered bytes).
It's pure draw-time decoration: the content buffer, and so the diff-line
metadata, click resolution and wrapping inputs, are untouched. The marker
is drawn on a line's first wrapped segment only, and the gutter narrows
the content wrap width while shown. Off by default; SetInclusionGutter
turns it on per view.

Records the plan for patch-building from the main view: the sync (no
re-render) vs async (staging) split, the included-set mapping, the
user's gutter decisions (on-demand, inclusion-only, checkmark), the
draw-time gocui rendering approach, and the 6a/6b/6c decomposition.

The reveal advanced the selection by capturing the next/previous change as a
patch identity and finding it again after the re-render. No line-number
identity is stable and unique across a stage, though: a deletion shares its
new-file number with the rest of its block (so staging one deletion of a block
landed back on the block's first line), and in the staged pane the new-file
number is the index, which staging/unstaging shifts (so unstaging a
modification's deletion missed its replacement line and fell back to an earlier
block). The previous worktree-line and adjacent-change-line matching each fixed
one case and left another.
Do instead what the staging view does: preserve the selection's ordinal among
change lines. Read the acted-on line's ordinal from the pane it was in before
the op; after the re-render, select the change line at that ordinal in the
target pane (clamped to the last). Since the op removes the acted-on change
line(s), that ordinal then holds the next surviving change — the next line of
the same block, or the next block when a whole block was staged. This needs no
reasoning about which side's line numbers are stable, so it handles deletions
and the staged pane uniformly.
The matching machinery (matchByWorktreeChange, AdjacentChangeLine) is gone; the
identity-matched restore (escape, -U preserve) and the new positional restore
now share installDiffLineRestore.

The post-stage reveal picked its primary candidate with AdjacentChangeBlock,
which skips the rest of the acted-on line's block. That's right in hunk mode,
where the whole block is staged, but wrong in line mode: staging the first
line of a multi-line block left the rest of the block in place, yet the
selection jumped past it to the next block instead of landing on the next
(now first) line of the same block.
Use AdjacentChangeLine — the first change line strictly after/before the
selection — for the next/previous candidates. It unifies both modes: after a
whole block (whose last line is followed by context) the next change line is
the next block's, so hunk mode is unchanged; after a single line the next
change line is the next line of the same block. place stays mode-aware
(hunk-expand vs single line), so nothing else changes.

This makes it possible to see what lines delta renders as red or green.
It's not pretty, but makes testing easier for now. Needs a better
solution eventually.
The reveal that advances the focused main view's selection after staging
captured the next/previous change block as a patch identity and found it
again in the re-rendered diff via SamePatchLine. SamePatchLine keys a
deletion on its old-file (index-side) line number, which staging shifts:
staging a hunk that changes the line count moves the index-side numbers of
every hunk below it. So a deletion-led "next hunk" candidate no longer
matched, and the reveal fell back to a worse candidate — often colliding
with a header or context row (SamePatchLine doesn't require a change line)
and, in hunk mode, snapping to the first change block. The visible result
was the selection jumping to an *earlier* hunk after staging.
Match the reveal's candidates by their worktree (new-file) line number,
which staging never moves, and require a change line of the same side. This
is safe here because the reveal only ever targets change blocks and
selectHunkAround expands to the whole block, so the new-file number's
ambiguity between two consecutive deletions (the reason SamePatchLine uses
the old-file number) doesn't matter.
The escape restore and the -U context-size preserve keep SamePatchLine:
they re-render the same staged/unstaged state, so no index-side shift, and
the latter deliberately anchors on context lines.

delta, fed a colored diff, renders some blank changed lines (an empty
deleted/added line) as just the OSC 1717 metadata followed by an empty
line — either with no fill at all, or as a background plus an ESC[0K that
the buffer now turns into a draw-time trailing fill rather than content
cells. Either way the line ends up with no cells, so its metadata had
nowhere to live and the line resolved to "not a change".
In the focused main view that broke change-block detection: a blank
deleted line in the middle of a hunk split it in two, so pressing 0
selected only the lines above the blank and the down arrow jumped to the
rest below it.
Restore the content-less sentinel cell finishLine used to add, but only
when there is pending OSC metadata to carry — so an empty line stays
resolvable as the change it is, without reintroducing the unconditional
sentinel (and its prevFgColor coupling) that was removed.
