Convert the remaining *Alt/*Alt[12] sibling fields (PrevItem/NextItem,
GotoTop/GotoBottom, PrevBlock/NextBlock, ScrollUpMain/ScrollDownMain,
OptionMenu, ConfirmInEditor, DiffingMenu) so the merge mechanism folds
their values into the corresponding main multi-key binding at config
load. The redundant alt-only Binding registrations across the various
controllers and the global keybindings file are gone: the merged main
field already carries every key, so the for-loop in SetKeybinding
registers them all.
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.
CustomCommand.Key and CustomCommandMenuOption.Key are user-configured
keybindings just like the built-in ones. Converting them to the Keybinding type
lets a user assign multiple keys to the same custom command, e.g. `key: [a, b]`,
the same way they would for any other keybinding.
The validator iterates over the elements rather than checking a single string,
the binding registration goes through GetValidatedKeyBindingKeys to register
every alternate, and the existing error messages use .String() so a multi-key
binding renders sensibly.
CustomCommandPrompt.Key (a form field name, not a keybinding) stays a plain
string.
JumpToBlock is special: each of its 5 elements is the binding for one side
window (status / files / branches / commits / stash), not an alternate for a
single command. Change the field from []string to []Keybinding so each window
slot can have alternates of its own.
The schema becomes "an array of 5 keybindings, each itself a string or array of
strings", which falls out cleanly from how the Keybinding type inlines into the
generated schema. Existing configs (a flat array of 5 strings) keep validating
because each element is unmarshalled through Keybinding's scalar-or-sequence
decoder.
Until now every keybinding config field was a plain string. That meant a user
couldn't ask for two keys to invoke a command — the config silently accepted
only one form.
Convert every string-typed field across all 13 KeybindingXxxConfig structs to
Keybinding so the union type extends to every command. Defaults wrap their
single-key value in Keybinding{...} so the generated Config.md still renders one
scalar key per binding.
The alt fields keep their separate Binding registrations for now: this commit
does not yet introduce the merge mechanism that folds them into the main field —
that comes in a follow-up. Consumers previously calling opts.GetKeys on a string
field now call opts.GetKeys on the Keybinding, or take .String() / Keys[0] where
a single value is needed.
Adds a Keybinding.String helper for rendering, schema-generator work that
inlines the Keybinding union into each consuming property, and a unit test
covering the user-facing scalar/sequence YAML forms for quit.
Each user-configurable keybinding is currently a single string in the YAML
config. To let users assign alternate keys to a command, introduce a Keybinding
type that decodes from either a scalar (the existing single-key form, kept for
backward compatibility and for a simpler config file) or a sequence of strings.
Marshalling collapses single-element slices back to a scalar so configs and
generated docs round-trip cleanly.
JSONSchema describes the type as a oneOf union so editors validate either form;
subsequent commits will inline the union into the generated schema and start
using Keybinding as the field type.
This is a pure refactor in preparation for letting users configure multiple
alternate bindings for a single command. Every Binding still has exactly one
key, so nothing changes visibly: the cheatsheet, the on-screen options bar,
and the keybindings menu all render identically.
When a Binding ends up with multiple keys, the on-screen options bar will
show only the first (to avoid clutter); the cheatsheet will show all of them (in
a later commit). For now both paths take Key[0].
MenuItem.Key is changed in the same way, it also has a slice of keys now.
In this commit we keep the name `Key` in Binding, KeybindingOpts and MenuItem,
instead of renaming them to `Keys` right away, in order to keep the diff a bit
more readable. We'll do the rename separately in the next commit.
For legacy reasons, OptionMenu was set to `<disabled>`, and OptionMenuAlt1 to
`?`. This doesn't make a lot of sense any more; get rid of OptionMenuAlt1 and
bind OptionMenu to `?` by default. This is a breaking change for users who
rebound OptionMenuAlt1 in their config, but it doesn't strike me as very likely,
and it's easy enough to fix.
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).
An uppercase letter is not valid with ctrl, and only works because we lowercase
the string before parsing it. This will change later in this branch when we
start supporting bindings like <c-s-r>.
I copied all files except dot files (.github and .gitignore), the _examples
folder, and go.mod/go.sum.
At some point we may want to copy the files back to the gocui repo when other
clients (e.g. lazydocker) want to use the newer versions of them.
When building multi-step custom command forms, some prompts are only
relevant depending on earlier answers. Without conditional logic,
users must dismiss irrelevant prompts manually.
Prompts now accept a `condition` field with a template expression
evaluated against prior form values. Skipped prompts default to
an empty string.
The template expression is a string pre- and suffixed with double curly
braces - {{}}.
Form keys can be reused, a guard ensures that skipped prompts do not
reset already set form keys with an empty string. This allows the
conditional flow to remind a user to set a key that was left empty
because additional conditions want that key to be set. This removes the
need to have additional if checks in the command that uses the form
keys.
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.
Set the sort order's default from the former foldersFirst to mixed, so this is a
change in behavior. I find this useful because it now matches git's order, so if
you look at the diff of a commit, the TOC at the top has the same order as the
file tree you see when entering the commit.
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.
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.
This is an object that is owned by Gui, is accessible through GuiCommon.State(),
and also passed down to GitCommand, where it is mostly needed. Right now it
simply wraps access to the Git.Paging config, which isn't very exciting, but
we'll extend it in the next commit to handle a slice of pagers (and maintain the
currently selected pager index), and doing this refactoring up front allows us
to make that change without having to touch clients.
We want to switch to have paragraphs consistently on one line, and auto-wrap
them automatically when generating Config.md.
The changes to Config.md in this commit are temporary.
Replace merge-tool with merge options menu that allows resolving all
conflicts for selected files as ours, theirs, or union, while still
providing access to the merge tool.
It seems useful to have the flexibility to remap "enter" in confirmations to
"y", but keep "enter" for menus and suggestions (even though we sometimes use
menus as confirmations, but it's still good to give users the choice).
This is similar to using lazygit's Git.Paging.ExternalDiffCommand config, except
that the command is configured in git. This can be done either with git's
`diff.external` config, or through .gitattributes, so it gives a bit more
flexibility.
Many people don't understand what this means, which is apparent from the amount
of issues that got filed because of this. Let's get rid of it to avoid this
confusion. People will have to configure their pager twice if they want to use
it both on the command line and in lazygit, which I think is not a big deal.
This frees up ctrl-z for suspend. Hopefully, redo is not such a frequently used
operation that the change annoys people.
