It seems that in recent version of SmartGit, word navigation stops before and after every space.

This means that if you have a commit message "Added level 2" with the caret after 2, you need to press Ctrl+Left 3 times to go before "level".

I would rather have the caret skip any space before the next word in the pressed direction, as in other editors, so you press Ctrl+Left/Right as many times as there are words to skip.

In general, such editors also skip multiple spaces before a word. Although YMMV and you may want not to skip if there are 2+ spaces or more. Personally I'd just skip them and let the user go back with Ctrl+Left then Ctrl+Right, or reversely.

Generally speaking, if the user still wants to stop at the other boundary of the word, they can always play with Left/Right and Ctrl+Left/Right for an extra adjustment, it shouldn't take more than one extra input.

AVIF and WEBP are modern image formats that are gaining in popularity. It would be nice to be able to preview the selected images in the SmartGit Changes view prior to committing. Actual image diffs would be great, but just being able to view the image would help a lot.

When renaming a local branch, it often needs to be pushed to origin under that name and the tracked branch of the local one needs to be set to the new one on origin with that name.

That all needs a lot of clicks and typing in the new branch name by hand. I would propose to extend the Push To window by

- a third bullet point (besides Tracked or matching branch and Custom Ref): "To branch with same name as the one to be pushed"

- another option (besides Force pushing): "Set tracked branch to selected branch on origin (Push To target)"

I hope you'll find a better wording for these points.

Currently, SmartGit only for JIRA supports

- selecting an issue with message as commit message

- marking issues as resolved on push

If you want to have this feature for other issue trackers, please write one reply per issue tracker and vote for that

I would like to be able to quickly view the contents of columns with long strings such as "Relative Directory" by using tooltips. It is difficult to see the contents without widening the column.

In a repository with multiple remotes defined, when trying to Push a new branch created in SmartGit, the selected remote is always origin.

I know that Push To can be used to manually select a different remote, but still it would be useful to be able to specify which remote is to be used as default, and automatically select it if there is no tracked branch configured.

Thanks

I would love if the push to popup had a dropdown with last "custom ref" locations you used. I keep pushing to different branches and it would help a lot having last refs you pushed to as quick selection.

I have a repo which contains many submodules. If I do some re-organization, e.g. I move a part of the tree to a new location, the submodules contained therein break (i.e. are stated as "missing" for the old location and as "nested root" for the new location). Since this is something I do frequently, its tedious to edit the submodules file by hand to get rid of that.

It would be great if smartgit detects these kind of changes and proposes to update the submodule location entry (moving submodules would then be similar to renames of regular files)

Currently, one can move only one commit within its branch.  Allow to move a consecutive list of commits.

Please add a command line argument that specifies which repositories to open.  This enables scripting groups of repositories to open.  This is needed because it provides an easy way to have repo working groups - SmartGit has a max 50 repos open, regularly closes repos, and does not have an easy "add these repo to the open repos" (it opens only the selected).
