I tried it at first, but I couldn't get it working. I'm not going to claim it's impossible (it's probably possible), but I gave it up. Consider this: when you click either of those two widgets with your mouse, you're not really clicking the widget. You're clicking a file listed in that widget. Clicking just the widget (in the blank space beneath the files) does nothing in git-gui. You have to actually click a file for the focus to change. (To be precise, pressing CTRL+1/2 selects the same file that was already selected in that widget) Reading your question, I realised my wording in the commit message wasn't very good. I'll try to improve it. Best regards, Birger
