19.1 previews have added functionality ("Use message for commit") that makes this request complete. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much! This exists on the Log for window in 19.1 RC2 and it works great.
Sorry, I understand now that we are talking about 2 different squash features because the context of this RFE is rebase interactive. The SG RI feature works well for me as is because the default chooses the older commit info.
I didn't mean to hijack the topic - to summarize, I was referring to the "Authorship" field on the Squash Commits dialog. Authorship items are sorted descending/newest first, and the first one is selected by default. I sometimes forget to change it to the older one! I want either it to select the oldest by default or have a config option allowing user to choose which it selects by default.
Yes, they don't commit but they have messages to copy from, which is not useless.
The menu option on those windows could paste it in the Commit view or, as I mentioned if that's not acceptable because it is a different window, have a different menu option such as "Copy message prefixed with fixup!" would put it in the clipboard for user to easily paste.
There are too many commits in the Graph view to find the desired commit. It is easiest to press Ctrl+L on a file in Files view, choose the desired commit in the Log for window, and choose Copy Message. This is easier and faster than searching using the Graph Filter field, especially since option "File (expensive)" is off by default and there is no option to have it on by default, and once it's on, I'd still have to copy the filename from files view and paste into the Filter field.
My steps are to copy the message from the Log for window, close the window, (now I'm back on Commit view), type "fixup!", paste the message.
I do this a lot and looking to stop typing fixup!
""Log for" Graph window" means the displayed window when choosing Log option on a file in Files view.
Try what in it? I always run latest preview. I do not find anything to set a default.
It defaults to the newest commit and so far I always choose the oldest commit, unless I forget to change this! Please add a config item to set the default, either "newest commit" or "oldest commit".
Yes, this has been helpful to save some typing, thank you!
Please also add this feature (same menu option or different one with "Copy message with fixup!" if difficult because it is a different window) to the "Log for" Graph window too. It's where I almost always find the commit to fixup.
I miss this too. WinMerge has this feature and is the easiest way to launch.

I regularly use DeepGit like this and this change would help narrow the hunt by not displaying commits irrelevant to the changed lines. Thank you for making the change!
