[PATCH 0/9] gitk: improve keyboard support

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

It is often convenient to use the keyboard to navigate the gitk GUI and
there are keyboard shortcut bindings for many operations such as searching
and scrolling. There is however no keyboard binding for the most common
operations on branches and commits: Check out, reset, cherry-pick, create
and delete branches.

This PR adds keyboard bindings for these 5 commands. It also adjusts some
GUI focus defaults to simplify keyboard navigation.

Some refactoring of the command implementation has been necessary.
Originally the commands was using the mouse context menu to get info about
the head and commit to act on. When using keyboard binds this information
isn't available so instead the row that is selected in the GUI is used. By
adding procedures for doing this the PR lays the groundwork for more similar
keyboard binds in the future.

I'm including Paul Mackerras because he seems to be the maintainer of gitk.
Can you review, Paul?

Jens Lidestrom (9):
  gitk: add procedures to get commit info from selected row
  gitk: use term "current branch" in gui
  gitk: add keyboard bind for reset
  gitk: show branch name in reset dialog
  gitk: add keyboard bind for checkout
  gitk: add keyboard bind for create and remove branch
  gitk: add keyboard bind to cherry-pick
  gitk: focus ok button in reset dialog
  gitk: default select reset hard in dialog

[PATCH 1/9] gitk: add procedures to get commit info from selected row

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

These procedures are useful for implementing keyboard commands. Keyboard
commands don't have access to commits that are selected by the mouse and
hence must get info from the selected row.

[PATCH 2/9] gitk: use term "current branch" in gui

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

This is the term that is used in the official documentation. Instead of
"HEAD branch" which in not standard.

[PATCH 5/9] gitk: add keyboard bind for checkout

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

This also introduces the ability to check out detatched heads. This
shouldn't result any problems, because gitk already works with
detatched heads if they are checked out using the terminal.

Re: [PATCH 5/9] gitk: add keyboard bind for checkout

[Jens Lideström]

I added a branch selection dialog to be be able to check out any branch on a selected commit, in the same way as for the remove branch command.

The key binding to remove a branch does not make sense to me. It does
happen that I have more than one branch on a commit, but there is no way
to select which one to remove via the keyboard. I have to use the
context menu. This needs more thought IMHO. At a minimum, separate it
out into its own commit.

"C" is a mistake. Good catch, thanks!

I choose Ctrl-B to avoid a conflict with Ctrl-C for copying text.

My intention is to always remove the first branch head that is displayed 
for a single commit in the GUI. This caters to the common use case, with 
only one branch for a single commit. If there are multiple branch heads 
on a commit and the users don't want to remove the first one then they 
need to use the mouse context menu to choose which one to delete.

I could change the implementation to display a dialog that lets the user 
choose in case of multiple branch heads.

In that case, should I do that as part of this PR, or as a follow up? I 
would prefer to finish this one first.

> At a minimum, separate it out into its own commit.

I'll do so.

IMO a selection dialog is the second-best solution. The best one is to
make the branch labels selectable somehow via keyboard navigation. I am
not a fan of the here implement behavior, because it is only a
half-solution.

Also, the order of branch labels on a line is not 100% deterministic:
when you create a branch, it goes last, but when you refresh the view,
branch labels are sorted alphabetically (I think). This means you can't
create a branch and delete it right away if there is already a branch on
the commit.

My preference would be to not implement this behavior until it is clear
what it should be.

I added a branch selection dialog to the remove command, triggered when there is more than one branch on the selected commit. It works fine and is convenient to use. However, the implementation is more complicated and the patch is much larger.

Since the patch is larger I felt that it was warranted to clarify some variable names.

The checkout command also has got a branch selection dialog.

Create and remove commands have been put in separate commits.

[PATCH 9/9] gitk: default select reset hard in dialog

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

Reset hard is dangerous but also the most common reset type, and not
having it pre-selected in the dialog is annoying to users.

It is also less dangerous in the GUI where there is a confirmation
dialog. Also, dangling commits remain in the GUI and can be recovered.

I agree that the operation of the Reset dialog is clumsy before this
series. However, this patch together with the previous patch turns it
into a foot gun. It becomes far too easy to destroy uncommitted work.

I would prefer to keep the default at "mixed" mode, set the focus on the
radio button to make it easy to switch to "hard" mode by hitting the
Down arrow key, and then make it so that Enter triggers the OK button.

The problem with "hard" mode are not the commits. The real danger is
that it blows away uncommitted changes. Besides of that, I do not
consider this UI a confirmation dialog.

That indeed sounds better! Safer but still convenient. I'll change the 
solution to this.

I noticed that some dialogues have a key bind to close with success 
using Enter.

Re: [PATCH 9/9] gitk: default select reset hard in dialog

[Jens Lideström]

I updated the implementation to use "mixed" as the default, but allow switching selected item with up and down keys, and accept with enter. It works fine! :)

I like it when an application can be navigated with the keyboard. These
changes are very much appreciated.

I've left some comments on individual commits. The important one is that
I think it makes the Reset dialog way too easy to destroy uncommitted work.

Please note that gitk-git directory is in its own repository that is
only subtree-merged into the Git repository. You should generate patches
against git://git.ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk (I don't know how difficult it
would be for Paul to integrate patches that were generated by gitgitgadget).

I'll try to figure out how to do that.

I looked briefly at Pauls repo but got the impression that it was out of 
date. I'll have a second look.

Re: [PATCH 0/9] gitk: improve keyboard support

[Jens Lideström]

@Hannes: I choose key combinations with Ctrl+<another-key>.

Another possibility is to use Ctrl+Shift+<another-key>. That is more complicated to press, but it creates a nice distinction between two categories of commands:

Searching and navigation command (existing): Ctrl+<another-key>

Branch modification commands (new): Ctrl+Shift+<another-key>

Do you have any opinion on this? Only Ctrl, or Ctrl+Shift for the new commands?

I have no strong opinion, with a mild preference for the versions
without Shift, just because they are more ergonomic.

Re: [PATCH 0/9] gitk: improve keyboard support

[Jens Lideström]

I have updated the PR after suggestions from Hannes. Mainly these changes have been made:

* The reset command dialog uses "mixed" as the default, but is more convenient to navigate with the keyboard.
* Remove and checkout branch commands now have branch selection dialogs if there is more than one branch head on the selected commit.
* Remove and checkout branch command patches handles a few more cases regarding remote branches and detached heads that I didn't think about originally. This has made them larger.
* I have split one commit, added another and moved some functionality around. Because of this the original patch number are no longer in sync with GitHub. How should I handle that?

@Paul Mackerras: Paul, can you have a look at this? Can you accept a PR through GitGitGadget if I rebase it onto master for git.ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk? Or do you have some other preferred way to receive patches?

[PATCH v2 00/10] gitk: improve keyboard support

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

It is often convenient to use the keyboard to navigate the gitk GUI and
there are keyboard shortcut bindings for many operations such as searching
and scrolling. There is however no keyboard binding for the most common
operations on branches and commits: Check out, reset, cherry-pick, create
and delete branches.

This PR adds keyboard bindings for these 5 commands. It also adjusts some
GUI focus defaults to simplify keyboard navigation.

Some refactoring of the command implementation has been necessary.
Originally the commands was using the mouse context menu to get info about
the head and commit to act on. When using keyboard binds this information
isn't available so instead the row that is selected in the GUI is used. By
adding procedures for doing this the PR lays the groundwork for more similar
keyboard binds in the future.

I'm including Paul Mackerras because he seems to be the maintainer of gitk.
Can you review, Paul?

[PATCH v2 01/10] gitk: add procedures to get commit info from selected row

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

These procedures are useful for implementing keyboard commands. Keyboard
commands don't have access to commits that are selected by the mouse and
hence must get info from the selected row.

[PATCH v2 05/10] gitk: add keyboard bind for checkout command

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

This also introduces the ability to check out detatched heads. This
shouldn't result any problems, because gitk already works with
detatched heads if they are checked out using the terminal.

I find it irritating that it is possible to check out a detached head
with Ctrl-O, but not via the context menu.

Playing around a bit with this feature, it may be a bit too easy to
check out a different commit with a simple key press and without
confirmation. At a minimum, there should be a confirmation when a
transition from a branch to a detached head happens, because otherwise
inexperienced users end up in inconvenient territories.

I propose that you do not include the ability to check out a detached
head in this commit, but make it a new feature once this series has settled.

There is already a branch selection dialog (hit F2 to bring it up).
Could you please have a look whether it can be reused here? Because...

... presenting a list of items in the form of radio buttons is a very
non-standard user-interface, IMO. I would have expected a list widget in
which an entry is highlighted. Also, if the list is long, a list would
have a scroll bar, but a radio button group is limited to the available
screen height.

That sounds like a good idea to me too, will fix.

I agree that the asymmetry between the keyboard bind and the context menu is somewhat unfortunate. But I also think that there is a pretty good justification it, and because of this I'd like to keep the feature in this PR.

The row context menu has a bit too many entries already, to the point where it is a bit hard to use. We really only what to put the most important or commonly used commands here. This is an inherit limitation for GUI menus: the screen real estate is limited. So there is a valid reason not to include the Checkout command.

For keyboard binds however these is no such screen real-estate issue. On the contrary: For keyboard binds it is an artificial asymmetry without any technical justification to NOT be able to checkout the commit of a selected row.

Apart from this it will unfortunately be hard for me to take the time to create a separate PR.

Do you accept this motivation for having the "checkout detached head" feature stay in this PR?

This second line should not be in this commit, should it?

The same comment as in the earlier commit about the checkout command
applies here: I don't think that radio buttons are the correct UI for a
branch selection.

In general, such duplication of code should not happen. The dialog only
differs in the title and help text and should be factored into a helper

Re: [PATCH v2 06/10] gitk: add keyboard bind for remove branch command

Damn, those adjacent lines where commands are listed always conflict when I reorder commits. I have fixed them several times and I seem to have forgot to fix them after the last reorder.

I discuss this in the tread about the checkout command.

I will extract a procedure for this and use in the implementation of both the commands, possibly something similar to the List references dialog.

The change regarding Create new branch is not related to this commit's
topic and should be elsewhere.

Why is it necessary to forbid this now? It was not forbidden before.

Sorry, sloppy mistake, will fix, thanks.

Oh, I had no idea you can actually cherry-pick to a detached head! When a added this check I though I fixed an existing bug, which only manifested if the user had checked out a detached head using the terminal and then used cherry-pick in gitk. I now see that it is not an error.

I have mixed feelings about allowing this, but it's probably best to not invent artificial limitations in gitk, so I'll remove the check.

[PATCH v2 09/10] gitk: improve keyboard convenience in reset dialog

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

Make it more convenient to use the reset dialog using keyboard.

* Set focus to the combo box.
* Accept with Return key.
* Auto-select combo items when navigating in menu with up/down keys.

[PATCH v2 10/10] gitk: allow checkout of remote branch

[Jens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget]

From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

This is a consequence of allowing checkout of detached heads (through
keyboard shortcut). It doesn't make sense to disallow checkout of
commits on remote branches if all other commits can be checked out.
