Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 11a899852c Select a whole change block when focusing the main view in hunk mode
Users who set hunk mode as their default get it when entering the staging
view, and the focused main view is on its way to replacing that view, so it
has to behave the same: focusing selects a whole change block, and clicking
a change line selects that line's block, ready to act on. A click on a
context line still selects only that line, since the click points at it
precisely — you may well want to edit it. A click inside the block that is
already selected does the same, giving hunk mode up and going back to line
by line. That keeps a single line reachable with the mouse in a block too
long to see the end of, and matches how a click inside a range selection
already collapses it.

The block offered up is the first one that begins on screen, so that its
whole extent can be seen before acting on it. Only when none does — a change
too long to fit on the screen — is the block that reaches into the view from
above taken instead, and the selection then extends to its first line off
screen: focusing a diff must not move it, so nothing here scrolls.

The staging view makes one exception, and so must we, or a file that is one
solid block of changes (a file you just created, or deleted) would come up
with all of it selected. The staging view asks the parsed patch; we ask the
rendered diff the same question, which needs no second git invocation and
works over a whole commit's diff, where the answer differs per file.

  • Views (the "windows" in the GUI) implement the interface io.ReadWriter.
  • Support for overlapping views.
  • The GUI can be modified at runtime (concurrent-safe).
  • Global and view-level keybindings.
  • Mouse support.
  • Colored text.
  • Customizable editing mode.
  • Easy to build reusable widgets, complex layouts...

About fork

This fork has many improvements over the original work from jroimartin.

  • Written ontop of TCell
  • Better wide character support
  • Support for 1 Line height views
  • Better support for running in docker container
  • Customize frame colors
  • Improved code comments and quality
  • Many small improvements
  • Change Visibility of views

	if err != nil {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}
	defer g.Close()

	g.SetManagerFunc(layout)

	if err := g.SetKeybinding("", gocui.KeyCtrlC, gocui.ModNone, quit); err != nil {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}

	if err := g.MainLoop(); err != nil && !gocui.IsQuit(err) {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}
}

func layout(g *gocui.Gui) error {
	maxX, maxY := g.Size()
	if v, err := g.SetView("hello", maxX/2-7, maxY/2, maxX/2+7, maxY/2+2, 0); err != nil {
		if !gocui.IsUnknownView(err) {
			return err
		}

		if _, err := g.SetCurrentView("hello"); err != nil {
			return err
		}

		fmt.Fprintln(v, "Hello world!")
	}

	return nil
}

func quit(g *gocui.Gui, v *gocui.View) error {
	return gocui.ErrQuit
}
