When a single file is modified inside a nested directory, the file tree
compresses the whole chain of directories into one line, such as
"pkg/gui/controllers/helpers". Selecting that line shows the diff of the
entire working tree. When a second file is then modified in another
subdirectory of pkg/gui, the tree splits the line into "pkg/gui" with
"context" and "controllers/helpers" below it, and the refresh moves the
selection down to "controllers/helpers". Users who keep the top
directory selected to see the diff of everything lose that view and
have to move the cursor back up after every such refresh.
This happens because the selection is re-found by the node's own path,
and a compressed node's path is the deepest directory in its chain. The
node stood for every directory in that chain, though, and the topmost
piece of the split is the one that stays on the same line.
Match a compressed directory node against any new node that stands for
at least one of the same directories. The list is in depth-first order,
so the topmost piece wins and the cursor stays on its line. Files are
never compressed, so their handling doesn't change. The reverse case,
where two directories fold back into one compressed line, already
selected the merged line and still does.

When the deletion of the selected file is staged and git then reports
it as the old half of a rename whose new half sits in a collapsed
directory, the selection is meant to move to the rename. With
gui.showRootItemInFileTree turned on, the directory stays collapsed and
the selection lands on it. With the option turned off, the directory
expands, but if another file in it sorts before the rename, that file
gets selected.
The loop that expands the directory runs before the tree is rebuilt and
works on the file list instead of on tree nodes. It compares the
rename's previous path, a user-facing path, against the selected node's
internal path, so the two never match while the root item is shown. The
path it hands to ExpandToPath is user-facing as well, so the directory
would stay collapsed either way. And because the loop runs before the
old node list is captured, expanding a directory above the selection
shifts that list, and the search for the new selection starts from
whatever node moved into the selected line.
Rebuild the tree first, capture the old node list before anything
expands, and then look for the rename among the leaves of the new tree.
ExpandToPath gets the leaf's own internal path, so the two kinds of
paths never need converting.

When the selected rename splits into its two halves, e.g. because it was
unstaged, the selection is meant to move to the new half. With the
default setting of gui.showRootItemInFileTree, it lands on the file that
follows the rename in the list instead.
findNewSelectedIdx identifies a rename by the names of its two halves.
These are user-facing paths, without the "./" prefix that the root item
adds to every internal path, but they were compared against internal
paths. The comparison never matched while the root item was shown.
Compare user-facing paths throughout findNewSelectedIdx. Node.ID already
identifies list items by their user-facing path.

The only menu that ever asked for it was the keybindings menu, which now
filters as you type and doesn't use the prompt at all. That leaves every
filterable context with the same prompt, so the whole hook can go, and
with it the two implementations that only existed to satisfy it.

FileTreeViewModel.RWMutex is removed along with the
withFileTreeViewModelMutex wrapper in FilesController that RLocked it:
every writer (the bounce closure, previous commit) and every reader (key
handlers, disabled-reason callbacks) now runs on the UI thread, so the
mutex is redundant.
RefreshingFilesMutex is removed entirely, including its last use in
repos_helper's DispatchSwitchTo. That use predates the bounce and was
never about FilesController's optimistic-rendering concern; it serialized
a repo switch's onNewRepo() against an in-flight FILES refresh for the
repo being switched away from, so that a slow refresh from the old repo
couldn't write into the freshly-reset model for the new one. Bouncing the
write already broke that guarantee on its own terms — the mutex's critical
section never covered the bounced closure's actual execution, only the
(now-removed) code that enqueued it — so by this point it was only still
locked here without protecting anything real; the previous commit's
repo-generation guard is what now actually closes that race, making this
lock fully redundant rather than just relocated.

Change working tree files and commit files panels to use filtering
(reducing the list) instead of search (highlighting matches). This
matches the behavior of other filterable views.
The text filter matches against the full file path, not just the
filename, which is more useful for navigating large directory trees.
When toggling a directory for a custom patch while a text filter is
active, only the visible filtered files in the directory are affected,
consistent with how staging a directory in the files panel works.

I took the set of enabled checks from revive's recommended configuration [1],
and removed some that I didn't like. There might be other useful checks in
revive that we might want to enable, but this is a nice improvement already.
The bulk of the changes here are removing unnecessary else statements after
returns, but there are a few others too.

We will need a user config in the file tree in the next commit, and passing the
entire common is the easiest way to do that while ensuring hot-reloading when
users change the config while lazygit is running.
Before this commit, we had pkg/integration/tests/submodule/add.go
failing with a panic. I'm pretty sure the issue is this: we're now
calling quite a few GetDisabledReason calls on each layout() call,
and if a background thread happens to update a model slice while
we're doing this, we can end up with a selection index that's now
out of bounds because it hasn't been clamped to match the new list
length.
Specifically, here we had the selected index being -1 (the list starts
empty and somehow the value is -1 in this case) and then the list
gets a new submodule so the length is now 1, but the list cursor
doesn't know about this so remains on the old value. Then we confirm
the length is greater than zero and try to get the selected submodule
and get an out of bounds error.
This commit fixes the issue by clamping the selected index whenever
we get the length of the list so that it stays in-sync. This is not
a perfect solution because the length can change at any time, but
it seems to reliably fix the test, and using mutexes didn't seem to
make a difference.
Note that we're swapping the order of IFileTree and IListCursor in
the file tree view model to ensure that the list cursor's Len()
method is called (which performs the clamping).
Also, comment from the PR:
This 'trait' pattern we're using is convenient but can lead to awkward
situations. In this case we have both the list view model and the
(embedded) list cursor with a Len() method. The list cursor Len()
method just calls the list view model Len() method. But I wanted
to make it that the list view model now calls ClampSelection() on the
list cursor whenever it obtains the length. This will cause an
infinite loop because ClampSelection() internally calls Len()
(which calls the list view model's Len() method which in turn
calls ClampSelection() again, etc).
The only reason we were passing the list view model into the list
cursor was to supply the length method, so now we're just doing
that directly, and letting the list view model delegate the Len()
call to the list cursor, which now itself calls ClampSelection.
Something dumb that we're currently doing is expecting list items
to define an ID method which returns a string. We use that when copying
items to clipboard with ctrl+o and when getting a ref name for diffing.
This commit gets us a little deeper into that hole by explicitly requiring
list items to implement that method so that we can easily use the new
helper functions in list_controller_trait.go.
In future we need to just remove the whole ID thing entirely but I'm too
lazy to do that right now.
The only time we should call SetSelectedLineIdx is when we are happy for a
select range to be retained which means things like moving the selected line
index to top top/bottom or up/down a page as the user navigates.
But in every other case we should now call SetSelection because that will
set the selected index and cancel the range which is almost always what we
want.
This adds range select ability in two ways:
1) Sticky: like what we already have with the staging view i.e. press v then use arrow keys
2) Non-sticky: where you just use shift+up/down to expand the range
The state machine works like this:
(no range, press 'v') -> sticky range
(no range, press arrow) -> no range
(no range, press shift+arrow) -> nonsticky range
(sticky range, press 'v') -> no range
(sticky range, press arrow) -> sticky range
(sticky range, press shift+arrow) -> nonsticky range
(nonsticky range, press 'v') -> no range
(nonsticky range, press arrow) -> no range
(nonsticky range, press shift+arrow) -> nonsticky range
