`<ctrl-g>` when a diff is showing (focused or not) opens a menu of the
files it contains, in the order the diff shows them and by the paths the
repo knows them by. Picking one scrolls that file to the top of the
view. The menu filters as you type, which makes it easy to quickly jump
to a file in a huge commit touching many.
A diff with only one file in it says so in a toast rather than opening a
menu with nothing to choose from.
n and N step through the files of a multi-file diff one at a time, which
is a long way to the far end of a commit touching a hundred files.
Bind ctrl+g to a menu of the diff's files, in the order the diff shows
them and by the paths the repo knows them by; picking one goes to where
its diff begins, exactly where stepping to it with n would have left
you. The menu filters as you type, so the file you have in mind is a few
characters away however many the commit touches.
The key works in the panel the diff belongs to as well as in the diff
itself. A commit is read from the commits panel, so being able to jump
from there saves focusing the diff and leaving it again for the next
commit; the diff scrolls to the file and the focus stays in the panel.
It is ctrl+g rather than f because a key that works in every panel has
to be free in all of them, and f is fetch in the files panel and fixup
in the commits panel.
The command applies only while the main view is showing a diff, and is
left out of the keybindings menu where it isn't: over a branch's commit
log, or while a conflicted file has given the main section over to the
merge conflicts view.
The diff is read to the end before the menu is built, as searching it
does: a file below the part that has been read is in neither the list
nor the view. Each item names its file rather than the row that file
begins at, so that a diff re-rendered while the menu is up is jumped
into at the row the file begins at now.

Where a focus or a click puts the focused main view's selection is
worked out in the diff line helper; where a jump puts it is worked out
on the main view controller, though it is the same question about the
same pane. A jump asked for from anywhere else — from a panel below the
pane, or from a click on a link in the diff — has no way to reach that
answer.
Move it over. The controller keeps placeNavigationTarget as the short
way to say it for the jumps it makes itself.

File navigation works out where the neighbouring file begins by walking
the rows itself, forwards or, more laboriously, backwards. A menu of the
diff's files needs the same rows, all of them at once.
Extract fileStarts, which answers that for the whole diff, and have
navigation pick its neighbour out of the answer. The two then agree on
where a file begins by construction, and the walk backwards over a file
goes away.

The identity of a row is reported in the repo's terms already: the pane
previewing the custom patch shows a diff of the two trees the patch was
materialized into, and the paths of those trees are mapped back to the
repo's files before anything sees them. Asking which file a row belongs
to, which file navigation does, was the one query that skipped that step
and answered with the tree's path.
Pull the mapping out of inRepoTerms so that it can be applied to a bare
path, and put filePaths through it. A menu listing the files of the diff
will want to show them by name; where a renderer states the path of each
side of a change, this also has both halves belong to one file rather
than to the two trees.

11th PR in the stack of PRs towards staging hunks directly from the main
view. This one is stacked on #6041.
With a commit's diff focused, open the branch's pull request in your
browser at the line you have selected. GitHub only, the anchor format
being GitHub's.
Which branch's pull request that is depends on where you are. The
commits panel answers with the checked-out branch, the sub-commits panel
with the ref you entered it from where that is a local branch, and the
commit files panel by asking the panel it was entered from. The files
panel, the stash and the reflog have no pull request to point at, and
the command isn't offered there at all.
The anchor format is `<pr url>/changes/<sha>#diff-<sha256 of the
path>R<line>`. It is derived by experiment; GitHub doesn't document it.
Reading a change in lazygit and saying something about it on GitHub
means finding the line again in the browser: open the pull request, find
the commit, find the file, scroll to the line. The line is already under
the cursor here.
Bind G in the focused main view, the key the commits panel opens the
pull request with, to open it at the line the selection is on. The URL
names the commits whose diff is on screen, so that the line numbers of
the diff are the ones the page shows, the file by the SHA-256 of its
repo-relative path, and the line by the side of the diff it is on: R for
the new version of the file, L for the old one, where a deleted line is.
GitHub documents none of that; the form was read off the URLs its own
pages carry.
One commit is named by its hash. A range of them is named by the commit
the range starts after and the commit it ends at, the form the chooser
above a pull request's files uses. The commit a range starts after is
the parent of its oldest commit; where the range starts where the pull
request itself does, that parent is none of the pull request's own
commits, and the keyword BASE stands for it.
Which branch's pull request that is depends on the panel beneath. The
commits panel lists the commits of the checked-out branch, the
sub-commits panel those of the branch drilled into, and the commit files
panel shows the files of a commit from either. In a stack of branches,
each with a pull request of its own, those lists include the commits of
the branches below, and each of those commits is in the pull request of
its own branch. So the command looks upwards from the commit for the
nearest head of a branch with a pull request, and takes the listed
branch if it finds none. Panels showing a diff that no pull request has
a view of don't answer, and the command isn't offered over their diffs
at all.
Neither is it offered over a diff that is not the commit's own, where
the line numbers on screen are not the ones the page shows: a diff
against another ref in diffing mode, and the custom patch, whose lines
sit at the numbers the patch gives them.
A pull request holds only the commits of its branch that are pushed, and
its pages say they can't find any other commit. So the command refuses
where a commit of the diff is not one of the pull request's. Amend a
commit in the middle of the branch, and the diffs of the commits below
it still open; the ones above it sit on hashes the remote doesn't have.
A commit from before the branch, in a main branch already, is refused
too, and so is a range of commits that reaches across the head of a
branch in a stack, since its commits are in two pull requests. Whether a
commit is pushed is known only for the upstream of the listed branch.
For a branch lower in a stack, that is right as long as the branches of
the stack are pushed together.
Only GitHub pull requests are known, since that is where the pull
request data comes from. The whole path can't be exercised headlessly:
no pull request reaches the model without a GitHub token, so the test
covers where the command is offered and the three reasons it refuses.
The URL is unit-tested instead, both the anchor of a line and the way
the commits are named, and so is the choice of a branch in a stack.

Two questions the pane answers from the panel beneath it each reach for
it themselves, guard included. Opening a line in a pull request needs it
twice more, for the branch and for the commit.
Extract sidePanelBeneath, which is also where the guard against asking
for the panel beneath an off-stack pane now belongs.

A diff line carries the absolute path of its file, and both panels
acting on such a line turn it into the repo-relative one git speaks
themselves. Opening a line in a pull request needs that path too, to
name the file to GitHub by it.
Extract repoRelativePath, and have both panels use it. The files panel
gains the check for a path outside the repo that the other one had; a
path it used to pass on matches no file of the working tree either.

Two panels offer a branch's pull request today, and each looks it up in
the model's map itself and builds the same disabled reason from the same
string. The focused main view is about to offer a line of the diff in
that pull request, which would make three.
Put the lookup and the disabled reason on the host helper, beside the
pull request URL it already builds, and have both panels ask it.

10th PR in the stack of PRs towards staging hunks directly from the main
view. This one is stacked on #6040.
Alt-click or shift-click a line of any diff and it opens in your editor
at that line. It doesn't move the focus or change the selection, and it
works while a popup has the focus, so you can read a diff behind a menu
and jump into the code. This is especially useful while writing a commit
message, when you want to copy a function name from the code that's
showing behind the commit message editor.
Both modifier clicks are bound (alt and shift), because no single one
works in Ghostty, iTerm2 and VS Code alike. Each of those swallows or
rewrites a different one, so you have to test which one works in your
terminal.
A 200 ms flash over the clicked row acknowledges the click. An editor
can take a moment to appear, and until it does you are otherwise left
wondering whether anything happened.
Non-suspending graphical editors can take a moment to reach the
foreground, leaving a modified click with no visible response. Briefly
reverse the clicked row's selection bar after launching the editor so
the registered action is apparent.
Arm the flash only for a resolved diff row, keep newer clicks safe from
stale timers, and rely on suspension to clear the transient state before
terminal editors take over.
Actions that hand control to another application need visible
acknowledgement without moving a view's cursor or replacing renderer
colors. Reverse the narrow selection bar independently of selection
state, and clear transient flashes whenever the terminal UI suspends.
Clickable renderer gutters are small and unavailable on some diff rows.
Make the whole row an editor target without changing focus or selection,
including while a popup is focused.
Use both Alt and Shift because terminal mouse protocols do not deliver
either modifier consistently across Ghostty, iTerm2, and VS Code.
Bindings match modifiers exactly, so a modified press must not turn into
an unmodified drag or release halfway through the gesture. Capture the
press-time modifiers once and carry them until the button is released.
This also makes unbound modified clicks no-ops instead of silently
invoking plain-click behavior.
The selected-line keybinding and a modified click need the same path
from a rendered diff row to the editor. Give that operation an explicit
view-line argument before adding the mouse gesture.
Mouse events on views behind a popup are normally swallowed before their
bindings can run. Add an explicit early-dispatch opt-in for actions that
should remain live there, matching the phase where hyperlink clicks
already run.
A view can need repainting even when its cached wrapping is still valid.
Track that state independently so content-only flushes do not overload
tainted, whose only job is to request a viewLines rebuild.
9th PR in the stack of PRs towards staging hunks directly from the main
view. This one is stacked on #6039.
Everything the staging and patch-building panels did now happens in the
main view, so this PR removes them.
`enter` on a file, in the files panel or the commit files panel, focuses
the main view at that file's diff. Double-clicking the file row does the
same. Everything else about the flow is unchanged; there is simply no
separate panel to be in.
**Config changes, both migrated automatically:**
- `gui.wrapLinesInStagingView` → `gui.wrapLinesInDiffView`
- `gui.useHunkModeInStagingView` → `gui.useHunkModeInDiffView`
Notable change: `wrapLinesInStagingView` used to affect only the staging
panel, but not the normal diff view. The new `wrapLinesInDiffView`
affects the main view always, whether focused or not; I assumed this is
probably the desired behavior, but I don't use the option myself, so I
can't tell for sure.
**One thing to know if you use custom commands:** `staging`,
`stagingSecondary` and `patchBuilding` are no longer context names. If a
custom command still names one in its `context` field, that is now
reported as a config error which you need to fix manually.
The context size can now be changed while a patch is being built. The
refusal existed because the old patch explorer kept track of which lines
are included in the patch by their line indices in the diff, which would
change when changing the context size. The new mechanism doesn't have
this problem, because it keeps track of patch lines by their line
identity, which doesn't change.
In the staging panel it used to copy the selected text verbatim, but in
the focused main view it copies the diff lines (that's also what the
toast says), and now that the staging panel is gone, we can change the
text to make it more specific.
Generic range assertions and migrated commit tests should describe the views
they still exercise. Drop stale explorer wording so failures and test intent
no longer point contributors at UI that does not exist.

Working in a diff used to mean the staging view, and this option said
whether the long lines there were wrapped. The main view does that work
now, and the option has had nothing to govern since the staging view went
away. Both panes wrap whatever they are given.
Make the option their wrap setting instead.

Hunk defaults and wrapping no longer belong to a staging panel. Rename both

The focused diff addresses patch lines by identity, so changing how much
context is rendered cannot invalidate an active patch. Remove the
explorer era refusal and prove that another line can still be toggled
correctly after the rerender.

Nothing routes to the explorer contexts after line actions and file entry
moved into the normal main pair. Delete their contexts, views, main-pair
wiring, discovery API, test drivers, and selection-state package so the
surviving diff view is the only implementation.
Their names go from the contexts a custom command may bind to as well, so
that a config still naming one is reported as the config error it now is
rather than taken as a context we simply failed to find.

Focused main views now own selection, staging, patch construction, copying,

The next commit deletes the controller this lives in, while the helper

Line staging remains part of several broader workflows: committing staged and

The broad regression for combining a whole file, a hunk, a range, and

Removing a whole or partial patch from its source commit, and replacing

Applying and reverse-applying custom patches must keep their staging,

Editing a line whose working-tree position shifted, discarding part of

Line-level patch moves must keep their behavior for added and deleted
files, adjacent additions, stacked branches, and conflicting earlier
destinations. Select those lines directly in the focused diff so only
the intended changes move and file-level metadata stays with the source

Moving a complete patch must preserve each file operation whether its
destination is a new commit before or after the source, or an existing

Patch movement still needs coverage for partial modifications, adjacent

A focused diff must replace the patch builder's whole-file toggle
without losing file creation or deletion metadata. Ordinary modifications
and renames must remain line-level selections even when every changed
content line is selected.
Ask the patch builder's canonical raw diff whether it consists of one
hunk containing only additions or only deletions and no context. Use the
whole-file operation only when the selection also covers every change.

The patch-building panel could move an added file as a file, while
selecting every visible change through the focused diff currently moves
only its content and leaves the empty file behind. Keep the intended

Keeping the same staging interactions covered through the explorer would

The hint was raised on entering the staging panel, once, to explain that
the selection mode there had changed and how to get the old one back. That
panel is gone, and with it the moment the hint was tied to; what is left is
a string nothing prints and a flag nothing reads.
The advice it carried is not lost: the option it names is documented, and
the key that switches modes is on screen while a diff is focused.
