Teasing for a future version? 😆

[jerone]

Wiki or the Readme would be a better place for this. This issue will go unnoticed.

[DanPristupov]

Teasing for a future version? 😆

Not only this, but also the filter in the Changes view :)

• CtrlF - Filter

[circleupx]

Wiki or the Readme would be a better place for this. This issue will go unnoticed.

Please consider making this a wiki

[thibaultmeyer]

Please add "Delete" to delete selected branch

[matheuslopesdev]

Hi, It would be great to have an "Apply stash" shortcut

[PsyhoBelka]

is any keys to navigate between commits inside current branch? not up/down in general commits list - only between currently selected branch (like in Intelij IDEA, you can pres left/right to navigate prev/next commit in current branch)

[aodpi]

Is it possible to change the shortcuts in settings?

[krumeich]

Thanks for adding zoom in/out with ctrl+/ctrl-.
Please consider adding ctrl= to reset zoom.

[lorenzo-arena]

Can you consider also adding another shortcut to open an explorer instance pointing to a selected file?

[sm-g]

What does Spacebar when file in staged/unstaged change list selected? Unnamed window with diff opened. There is no such command in context menu of file. (I expect it to work like in SourceTree - move between staged/upstaged)

[DanPristupov]

What does Spacebar when file in staged/unstaged change list selected?

It opens large window with diff.

I expect it to work like in SourceTree - move between staged/upstaged

It's not related.

[samizzo]

Another vote here for changing shortcuts!

On my French keyboard, Zoom in works, but Zoom out (Ctrl+-) does not.
And a way to reset the zoom level to its default would be great too!

Should I fill a separate issue?

EDIT:

I've dug a bit and it appears that the OemMinus key simply does not exist on French keyboards (or more precisely, the VK_OEM_MINUS code is never raised on French keyboards... see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12634190/vk-oem-minus-doesnt-work-on-azerty-keyboard).

I don't know exactly how you bind zoom in/out commands to actual zooming, but I suspect you rely on WPF Key Gestures. I came with a prototype that allows French keyboards to kinda work given it has a numpad:

public static class CustomCommands
{
    public static readonly RoutedUICommand ZoomIn = new RoutedUICommand(
        "Zoom In", "ZoomIn", typeof(CustomCommands), new InputGestureCollection
        {
            new KeyGesture(Key.Add, ModifierKeys.Control), // This is the "numpad +" key
            new KeyGesture(Key.OemPlus, ModifierKeys.Control), // This is the "+, =, }" key on a French Keyboard
        });

    public static readonly RoutedUICommand ZoomOut = new RoutedUICommand(
        "Zoom Out", "ZoomOut", typeof(CustomCommands), new InputGestureCollection
        {
            //new KeyGesture(Key.D6, ModifierKeys.Control), // This is the "6, -, |" key on a French Keyboard
            new KeyGesture(Key.Subtract, ModifierKeys.Control), // This is the "numpad -" key
            new KeyGesture(Key.OemMinus, ModifierKeys.Control),// This does not work on a French Keyboard
        });
}

The solution above should work without needing full internationalization of shortcuts.

On the other hand, if you can go the i18n way, then replacing Key.OemMinus with Key.D6 only in the fr-FR case would allow us French to Zoom out on notebook French keyboards as well.

PS: it is kind of weird to have the shortcut display "Ctrl+=" for zoom in where logically it is bound to '+' and visually (at least on US/French keyboards, + and = are on the same key

Hope this helps

CtrlAltShiftS - Stage/unstage all files >> Does not work on my computer running 1903 Windows 10. Windows opens the built-in sticky note app instead.

[DanPristupov]

@odalet we added handling of Key.Subtract in Fork 1.40.

it is kind of weird to have the shortcut display "Ctrl+=" for zoom in where logically it is bound to '+' and visually (at least on US/French keyboards, + and = are on the same key

This is a common approach. VS Code also uses "Ctrl+=" (https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-windows.pdf)

[odalet]

@DanPristupov
Thanks for the quick fix!
Then it may be a good idea to also support Ctrl+NumPad+ for zooming in (VS Code does); this would make it easier to zoom in/out because of proximity on the keyboard.
Concerning a Reset zoom command, VS Code supports Ctrl+Numpad0. Other tools (eg. Notepad++) use Ctrl+Numpad/...

Anyway, thanks again! By the way, if you ever accept contributions I'd be glad to help: I'm a professional .NET developer and know some WPF. I use fork on a daily basis and find it wonderful; it has completely replaced Sourcetree for my Gui needs. So, if you ever consider contributions, do not hesitate reaching out to me!

[jasenmoloy]

Can we add Ctrl + B as a shortcut to checkout a branch? This is already implemented on the Mac OS version.

Adding this feature makes it a lot easier to checkout a remote branch during a PR than having to search through a large list of remote branches in the sidebar.

[DanPristupov]

@jasenmoloy did you try to use the CtrlP -> checkout? It provides pretty similar experience in my opinion.

[valhristov]

Could you add F2 as shortcut to rename a branch?

[szyb]

Is it possible to provide functionality that user would be able to change default keybindings?

[svennergr]

Can we get Quick Fetch/Quick Pull/Quick Push also in the Quick Launch command palette?

[SaebAmini]

Ctrl Alt Shift F to Quick Fetch doesn't work for me, but (Ctrl + click on button) and other "Quick xxx" operations work.

[SaebAmini]

Could you add CTRL R as an alternative to F5

[Otiel]

Ctrl Alt Shift F to Quick Fetch doesn't work for me, but (Ctrl + click on button) and other "Quick xxx" operations work.

[NN---]

Is there a shortcut to filter branches tree ?

[Otiel]

Is there a shortcut to filter branches tree ?

CtrlF but it must be used when focus is on the left navigation pane.

[deuterium2h]

Are there any shortcuts regarding collapse and expand commit history? As of now Left and right arrow keys collapse and expands the commit history for the current branch.

[DanPristupov]

@deuterium2h only the ones you mentioned.

[MaksimKuz]

Can you add shortcuts to navigate in difference view (when "Show entire file" mode is On) between code changes.

[ghost]

My team is always rebasing our branches to keep our commit history as readable and clean as possible, so I would love a shortcut for force pushing a branch!

[DanPristupov]

@ShannonTheCodePerson use [branch icon on the toolbar] -> Sync. You can find more info here: #1432

[carsten-goforlag]

Please consider adding a shortcut for "Create Pull Request..." command

[bbukraLTX]

Please consider adding shortcuts for custom commands. Ideally with an option to set the shortcuts manually. 🙏

Sorry, what should I upvote? 😅
Edit: Nvm, found it and upvoted :)

[bbukraLTX]

Please also add a shortcut to jump to parent commit (one for each if there's more than one)

[stefan-van-de-griendt-quandago]

Is there a way to navigate to the next commit on the same branch? (might want to add: in the All Commits view)
for example, like collapsing the tree and go to the next commit without collapsing the tree

I still can't find a shortcut for this, but it's really common for us to have multiple active branches. So, navigating manually by following a line in the graph is really inconvenient. Would love to have Ctrl + Up and Ctrl + Down for the most common scenarios, which is moving in the same branch. There could be some edge cases, such as

• Ctrl + Down into the originating branch, because this is the first commit of the current branch and there's only one parent;
• Ctrl + Up into the target branch, because this is the last commit of the current branch and there's only one child;
• Ctrl + Down when there are multiple parents, but there's no parent commit on the same branch, then nothing happens, else goes to the previous commit on the current branch;
• Ctrl + Up when there are multiple children, but there's no child commit on the same branch, then nothing happens, else goes to the next commit on the current branch.

[ZihouWong]

Please consider adding a shortcut for "Chekcout " command

[bbukraLTX]

@ZihouWong Please upvote this issue (from Mac Tracker)

[JustinasKilas]

Please consider adding a shortcut for "Create Pull Request..." command

Also 3rd option "Commit and Push and Create Pull Request" would be awsom!!

[HongliangQiu]

Please consider adding a shortcut for "Switch Workspace" command. Thanks.

[carun]

Please consider adding shortcut for "Open in Visual Studio Code". Thanks!

[TiloBuechsenschuss]

A shortcut to switch between commit sorting (topologically or by date) would be helpful. :-)

[heythisischris]

Please consider adding a shortcut for "Switch Workspace" command. Thanks.

+1 for adding a shortcut to switch workspaces! One of the most powerful features of Fork IMO.

[carun]

Ability to add/customize the shortcuts would probably cover all new requests.

My personal favorite is to open with VS Code with Ctrl .

[christianfriessnegg]

I would really enjoy having keyboard shortcuts (any maybe 2 buttons for GUI lovers) for "go to next change" / "previous change" in the changes view:

This would make the review of changes a lot faster in my opinion.
Currently I have to use the "workaround" of using external diff-tool BeyondCompare and using that:

[AndriiPetrovDev]

just tried Fork and I can't believe that it doesn't have such basic stuff as resolving conflicts hotkeys

[andgeno]

I'd love to see a native (customizable) shortcut for switching between workspaces quickly.

As a workaround for now, I wrote this AutoHotkey script (Windows only, obviously):

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance

;;
;; Triggers "Switch Workspace" action on "`" key press
;;
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe Fork.exe")
`::
{
    Send "^p"
    SendText "Switch Workspace"
    Sleep 250
    Send "{Enter}"
}

Are there any shortcuts for "Go to child commit" and "Go to parent commit " now? Unfortunately I couldn't find out, I work on a Mac. Thank you!

[0papen0]

What about a shortcut for the Amend check-box when on the Changes View?

[bbukraLTX]

@0papen0 cmd+shift+a works for me

[0papen0]

@0papen0 cmd+shift+a works for me

Doesn't seem to do anything for me on win, sadly. But thanks.
