I like the minimalistic interface of tig, but when the user has to select among a fixed number of choices it's much better to be able to see all of them. The idea of a menu view which is not a popup is probably good too, but it might have issues with the switching (what if q is a hotkey? how would you close the view?) > Regarding the "tig branch", would you mind if I postpone applying it > until the branch view develops into something that is actually usable? Please, be my guest 8-) I'm not even convinced it's useful anymore 8-) ("tig branch", not the branch view). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
