Why would users not want a staged file to be selected > automatically? I have similar arguments to what Philip said in the GitHub link you sent. I think software should do what the user tells it to do, and should not try to "second guess" them. This second guessing can get annoying. So if I select the commit message buffer, I told the software to select it by clicking it. I did not tell it to switch my diff view. This switch of view can prove to be disorienting/confusing to a user because they did not select any diff. They selected a text box. At the very least, I think we should have a config option, and it should be turned off by default. That said, I'd certainly like to hear what other people think on this topic. > FWIW I've also got 2 comments on this in GH[1]. > > [1] https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2341 -- Regards, Pratyush Yadav
