VI-style up/down navigation in commit lists
Description
- Use
j
andk
on the keyboard to move down and up, respectively, through a list of commits, and then pressEnter
to navigate into the commit. - Similar to VI keyboard shortcuts.
- Implement this for (1) commit list view for a branch and (2) commit list view in a merge request.
- This allows a person to quickly navigate through a list of commits using just the keyboard, similar to triaging emails in Gmail / Inbox.
Examples from GitHub
- GitHub has this in the branch commit list view and the pull request commit list view.
- GitHub has this in their file browser view for file navigation.
- GitHub has this in their pull requests list view for navigation.
- GitHub has this in their issues list view for navigation.
