Yes, but what Birger was saying was hitting Ctrl+Tab 9-10 times to get to the option. This is much faster than that alternative. My aim was to let people know what options already exist before proposing new ones. > And if you want to toggle it back again, you have to do a slightly > different keyboard dance, depending on where your cursor or > highlight is currently positioned. > > Rather what we (at least I) am hoping to communicate is that after you > have done this many thousands of times, and you can do everything > else in git-gui very fast without touching the mouse, you might also join > us in wishing for action to be achievable with one hotkey-combination > event that does not affect any other state, it just toggles new/amend > commit, and is not a sequence of several multi-key actions which must > be adapted according to the current status of other input mode actions. Don't get me wrong. I am not against having a dedicated hotkey for toggling amends. I think it is a common enough operation to warrant a dedicated keyboard toggle. I was just letting everyone know what the current options are, so they can make better judgements whether they really need this option or not. -- Regards, Pratyush Yadav
