selector.go RawHistoryFolder

1// Package selection is the layer-shell capture selector, drawn with NeferGUI.
2//
3// Select opens one transparent overlay layer surface on every output. Each
4// dims everything except the dragged region, draws thin accent lines and a
5// size label, and the first decision from any of them is returned. It needs no
6// screenshot: the live compositor shows through the transparent surface.
7//
8// One overlay per output: every monitor is selectable at once. A Wayland
9// client cannot hold exclusive keyboard focus on several surfaces, so the first
10// output's overlay is keyboard-exclusive and the others take the keyboard on
11// demand (on click). Each overlay is a separate layer surface on its own
12// Wayland connection, with its own model on its own owner loop; they share only
13// a first-decision-wins session.

99// accepted selection never races a window that is still mapped. The compositor
100// may still be processing that teardown, so a caller must confirm through a

Keyboard shortcuts

Single-key shortcuts are on. ctrl k and esc work whatever this says.

ctrl k :
go to a section, branch, tag, file or repository
?
this list
j k
move the row cursor down / up
enter
open the row under the cursor; on Files, a directory opens or closes in place
↑ ↓ ← → home end
in the file tree (focus on a row): previous / next row, close / open a directory or go to its parent / first entry, first / last row. They never open a file
l h
on Files: open a directory or a file / close a directory or go up to its parent, then to the parent page. Elsewhere: into the side panel (on a merge request, its files) / back to the content; there j k move between its controls
g g G
first / last row
/
filter the list; on Files, find a file anywhere in the repository (esc clears, enter opens the best match)
b
switch branch or tag
g s g f g c g b g m g i g r g a
tabs: summary, files, commits, branches & tags, merge requests, issues, releases, actions (when available)
g h
home
w
wide mode: use the whole width of the screen, or not (remembered)
y
copy a permalink pinned to the commit
d u x
diff: split / unified / collapse or expand all
e E
diff: the whole file in view / every file, with the lines the hunks hide
n
merge request: next note in the diff
esc
close a dialog, leave a field
