Feature tracking

This document is mainly used by developers to track features in progress on the project. Feature requests are still done via github issues.

Priority

• Have the tool work as a difftool for jujutsu

• Have the tool support jj resolve

• support file diffing (git mergetool)

• advanced search for pattern e.g.:

> find: ... # Show all files in view containing match (use rg)
> find changes: ... # Show all files in view containing +/- relative to match
> find in files: ... # interactive search of file in view (use fd)

• Split a hunk, to get smaller hunks.
• undo/redo features (u & ctrl-r)

Keybinds

• Have a way to see all configured keybinds when pressing '?' or typing ':help keybinds' in a keybind window
• Have a way to disable the hint bar
• Modify actions to be more precise in their parameters, e.g.

       staging {
-         toggle(),
+         toggle(u32), // line to toggle
       }
+    // ...
+    current_line(|| -> u32)

Views

Segment view

• Have segments view (scroll on whole diff instead of single file)

Branch view

• Allow the tool to be use as a standalone tool (built-in commit and branch navigation)
• Replace the need for jj arrange by adding commit re-ordering

Accessibility

• Default theme shouldn't change terminal background
• Default theme should check for terminal color support:

Mode	Colors
Plain ASCII	None
ANSI (16-color)	16 colors (8 standard + 8 bright)
256-color palette	256 colors
24-bit True Color	~16.7M colors (2⁸×2⁸×2⁸)

icons

• check for nerdfonts/icons support before displaying any.
• allow disabling nerdfonts

Moonshot

• Three-way split
• syntax aware hunk splitting, instead of splitting at cursor split by identifying logical blocks.
• In split edition e.g. 'd' for deleting a change in file view without leaving the tool
• remote merge review with dynamic forge backend (github, gitlab, ...)
  • Open the tool for AI integration to pre-review the changes, give swift summary, and prompt questions
• Identify binary file incoherence of file signature (e.g. an exe with a png extension) tie it to existing integration.
  • Image/video preview
