Missing some options to work on files/directories (create, delete, modify, rename, etc.)

[chlopes]

Hi!

I've just found the project so maybe I'm missing something but I didn't find a way to invoke the editor ("Edit [e]" option) from the Files [3] tab to start modifying files. Also, I've not found the options to create, delete and rename files/directories through it.

Maybe these options are out of the scope of the project, I don't know, but I think it'd be nice to have them for small and quick changes, thus avoiding context switches.

Thanks for the outstanding job! Just keep it up!

thats not implemented yet, but that makes sense actually!

I am not sure I want to go down that path, I also do not see parallels in the git GUI apps that inspired gitui (looking at Fork)

Good to know :)

I understand your concerns but I do hope you consider adding it because it complements the feature above, fulfilling the need of managing project files directly through the tool.

still this should be a separate issue so we can prioritise it differently. the edit [e] part is a low hanging fruit, the other part not as much. can you split these two things?

Absolutely!

Shall we keep this issue for the edit [e] part and just open a new one for the other part or do you prefer to close this one and open another two separately?

Let’s keep this one for the edit cmd

implemented with one oddity: since the file tree reflects a revision of the tree changing a file that we see there will not be reflected afterwards in the tree view. therefore I switch to the status tab when editing a file

Why is that? I found it odd changing a file and seeing the view of the file in the Files tab to remain unchanged. And yet, editing said file shows the actual state of it.
