Keyboard shortcut for Commit view's Commit button

Jeff Jensen 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 2

Ctrl+k maps to opening the Commit dialog but I'm unable to find a key mapped to the Commit view's Commit button.  That's more efficient than reaching for the mouse to click Commit!  Is there one and, if not, can we please have one added?

Allow to change the redo keyboard shortcut because some keyboards as mine do not accept this key combination.

Bugged 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 4

When I am editing text on the Commit dialog:

I can undo stuff with `Ctrl+Z`, but I cannot redo stuff with `Ctrl+Shift+Z` because my keyboard does not support the combination of `Ctrl+Shift+Z`.

Ideally, I should be able to remap it to `Ctrl+Y` as Google Chrome, Sublime Text, Microsoft Words, probably all software I have known binds it to by default.

Change "Reveal in Explorer" to "Reveal in File Browser" (at least semantically)

Matthias Wieding-Drewes 6 years ago 0

The context menu operation "Reveal in Explorer" does exaclty what it anounces to do--it opens the the folder conting the file using `explorer.exe`.

I however do not use the explorer.exe but 'Directory Opus' (DOpus). DOpus registeres itself as the default file browser and opens i.e. when I do a 'Open Containing Folder' in Visual Studio, or press Win+E.

Please do not default to the explorer, but instead use whatever indirection windows is offering and that DOpus hooks into instead the current way.

Changes: prevent going to the previous or next file when the compare was forced

Iulian Onofrei 6 years ago updated by Marc Strapetz 6 years ago 0

In other words, if you:

- Select a big file
- Click the "Force Compare" button
- Use the "Go to previous change" or "Go to next change" buttons until you reach the start or end of the file

it would be nice if SmartGit wouldn't select the previous or the next file. Because then you have to wait again for the compare to be computed for the big file.

Changes view: when you cannot show the change (diff) of a large (big) file, show the output of `git diff` for that file

Paul Thomson 6 years ago updated by benblo 6 years ago 1

Instead of only showing "File is too large to display.", could you please add the output of git diff for that file (perhaps just the first 10,000 lines/characters)? This at least gives *some* information.

There is also a delay before the "File is too large to display." It would be great if that delay could be removed, perhaps by estimating whether the file will be too large based on just the file size.

I work in a repository where there are several large files that must be updated in almost every commit, but the changes are tiny; just being able to see the change quickly would be ideal.

Please, stop closing the Base Changes window, when I close the Conflict Solver Window

Bugged 6 years ago updated 5 years ago 1

This started happening after the latest update: 19.1.1 #14179

After I open the Conflicts Solver window:

Image 383

I also open the Base Changes window:

Image 384

And when I think I am done, I close the Conflicts Solver Window.

But now, Smartgit is automatically closing the Base Changes window when I close the Conflicts Solver window. Very bad! How can I post review changes now?

I would also like to ask to:

1. Not close the Base Changes window, just because I closed the Conflicts Solver window.

2. Allow me to reopen the Base Changes and or the Conflicts Solver window, after I marked the conflict a solved, so I can refix something I bad merged/fixed on the last time I had those windows opened. Now, I can only do that by aborting the whole merge process and starting everything from scratch.

Allow to reload changes on the `Conflict Solver` window

Bugged 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 0

Most times the conflicts I solve are so hard to deal with, I have to open the text editor to properly deal with them (like rewrite code).

Image 382

But when I go back to the Smartgit `Conflict Solver` window, the changes in the file system are not reloaded. 

It would be very welcome if Smartgit asked me whether I would like to reload the changes on the file system

Dont make reset to hard reset

Jacques 6 years ago 0

Why oh why did you make the Reset command now become a hard reset? I never do a hard reset always a mixed one, and because of your changes, I have now lost a whole day's worth of work. The default reset should most definitely be the safer option of mixed so that you still have your changes

Log, Branches: allow to select two refs in Branches view and immediate reveal both of them (easier diff between two tags)

Christian Bulitta 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 1

A (very small) improvement for the tag-diffs:It would be great to do the following:

  • Select 2 (or more) Tags
  • Reveal (from context menu)
  • expected:
    • Selected 2 (or more) commits are revealed
    • diffs are shown in case 2 commit are revealed


This would be the perfect UI for me to diff tags, especially if commits are far away from each other.

File Filter: support word-part search

Thomas Singer 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 2

Currently, one can filter the Files view by, e.g., "*.txt, *.php". What about searching for file name parts, e.g. "file man" to find SgFileManager.java?
