Description Kai Willadsen 2010-12-31 23:51:52 UTC 
From Peter Tyser, regarding keyboard merging:

"Perhaps the num-pad could be used?  eg 9 could move a change before
the right hunk, 1 could move a change below the left hunk (in 3-pane
mode), 6 could replace the hunk to the right, etc.  Maybe alt+num
could push the hunk, and alt+shift+num could pull a hunk?"

We probably can't support using no modifiers, but Alt/Alt-Shift sounds okay. We could actually map the whole number pad. 2/8 should be next/prev chunk; 5 could cycle between panes. Delete is already delete.
Comment 1 Kai Willadsen 2015-08-29 22:23:13 UTC 
I'm not sure how this should be implemented. The simple solution would probably be to add additional shortcuts, but a better option might be to add keybinding signals for our change navigation + change action methods so that they can be customised with the CSS-based keybindings.
