Issue 365: Allow text selection in diff pane of commit and status dialog http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/365/allow-text-selection-in-diff-pane-of-commit-and-status
Adrian Buehlmann / abuehl on Sat, 4 Jul 2009 19:03:07 +0200: Comment: Hmm. Editable diffs sounds evil indeed. Some unimportant notes / ideas below: A silly idea might be to have separate views: (a) one for hunk selection (current) and an additional one that allows selecting text (b). Most stupid implementation of (b) might be to add a button to the commit dialog (labeled "text diff" or something) that opens a very primitive text window with selectable text containing the diff. Or using tabs for the two views. That's indeed quite close to what I do today: If I really want to copy some text part of the diff, I open a command shell and enter "hg diff", select the text and copy it. But maybe it's not really such an important problem to bother about. I just often catch myself at trying to do a drag click in the diff pane and then slapping my forehead, remembering that this pane is special with regards to select-clicking there. I very rarely want to really deselect a hunk. I believe I probably did this in less than 3 commits or so in total, since I started routinely using this dialog (from some ~500..800 commits in total I'd estimate). But nevertheless, it's still a very nice feature (deselecting hunks). -- This is an issue notification from bitbucket.org.
