Here's a listing of all the GHfW keyboard stuff that i can think of. Now i know them after writing this, but i figured it would be nice to have these documentated somewhere.
Rant: i dont know why people say that Windows users dont like using the keyboard for everything. That's certainly not true for me. Though, that may be the case from using Unix in college.
You can use Alt shortcuts. Hold down Alt and you'll see the underlines. Menus brought up this way have j
& k
navigations! Try it on the tools menu.
- a: add new repo
- r: refresh
- t: tools menu
- j: next repo down
- k: next repo up
- g: goes to the top and then iterates through each repo
- <-: contracts the repos bar
- ->: expands the repos bar
- w: branches
- t: tools
- j: next commit down
- k: next commit up
- g: goes to the top and then iterates through each repo
- <-: contracts the diffs panel
- ->: expands the diffs panel
Alt + Left Arrow: back to the main screen
GHfW version 1.0.56.0
Thanks so much for this. It would be great if they had a list of all possible keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps there is already one out there, but I can't find it... One thing that I can't figure out is how to give focus to the Filter Repository textbox?
Here are some others that I found over time.
Main screen
c
orctrl
+n
: create repositoryRepo screen
Tip: When you open a branch and your cursor has focus is on the commit message line, press
ctrl
+j
to jump to the last commit at the top of the list. This puts you in command mode.backspace
: back to main screen (same asalt
+left arrow
)ctrl
+b
: branches (same asw
)ctrl
+n
: next commit down (same asj
)ctrl
+p
: next commit up (same ask
)shft
+t
: open tools menuj
andk
arrows to move down and up in the listesc
to close it\
orbacktick
: open shell (works on any screen)Hope this helps! And, thanks again!
