The five panels that show a commit's diff now offer on it what the patch
explorer offers on the one file it can show at a time: space takes the
selected lines into the custom patch being built, or back out of it again,
and d takes them out of the commit itself.
So a patch can be built straight from the diff already on screen, over
several files at once and without entering the commit's files first — and
from a stash entry or a reflog entry too, whose diffs the explorer could
reach but which had no patch preview of their own to show for it.
The two arrive together because they are one answer to what a commit's diff
offers, and because d needs exactly what space builds: a patch of the
selection, which the rebase then removes from the commit. Which of the two
space is doing is decided by the first selected line, as toggling a file in
the commit files panel is, and the selection then moves past the lines
dealt with — they are still in the diff, a patch leaving the commit alone,
so a second press would otherwise take them straight back out.

Five panels show a commit's diff in the focused main view — one file of it
from the commit files panel, the whole of it from the commits, sub-commits,
stash and reflog panels — and each answered for that diff itself, in the
same words.
Have them share one object instead, told only which diff it is, so that what
follows has a single place to say what can be done to a commit's diff and
needs saying once rather than five times.
