General Software Discussion / Re: DVCS ?
« on: May 22, 2011, 12:10 PM »As you probably know, a lot of Windows applications (text editors, IDEs) use F3 and Shift/ctrl+F3 to move to next/previous occurrence (can't talk about Linux or Mac as I haven't really worked with those in the last couple years and I forgot...). I couldn't say for sure what the standard is, but F3 is what I'm used to... Hence the "awkward" feel.OK, I'll try to add (Shift+) F3 in the next 2.1 build. Unfortunately, this will be hard-coded and not customizable, because only the shortcuts for menu items are customizable.-Armando (May 20, 2011, 02:18 PM)
- Some other shortcuts feel a bit weird. E.g.: Ctrl+T for staging. I immediately changed it for Alt+Enter, and Ctrl+Alt+Enter for editing the index, which seems much more natural when reviewing changes using Alt+Arrows. This is personal of course... but just saying.We took Ctrl+T from the Git GUI. BTW, I have changed Alt+Up/+Down to F3/F4 so I only need one hand for navigation...-Armando (May 20, 2011, 02:18 PM)
- After staging some content, the focus always moves to the newly staged file, which interrupts the "files modifications reviewing". There might be a way to prevent that but I haven't found it. Question: Could the focus remain at the top of the list and not move? When reviewing files before committing , it's inconvenient to always have to move back to the top of the file list or where the other file to review is located.We'll try to find a solution.-Armando (May 20, 2011, 02:18 PM)
- Some tooltips seem too verbose.IMHO "Show unchanged files" is ambiguous: it could mean the current state or the action which happens when clicking. Hence we decided to be precise.
E.g., in the files section/table : "if selected, unchanged files will be shown".
Why not simply : "Show unchanged files" ? It's more "to the point" IMO.-Armando (May 20, 2011, 02:18 PM)
@ewemoa: it looks like Microsoft is the only one which does not comply to the Microsoft Windows standard (F3).
