Common Features
===============
.. module:: common.dialog
:synopsis: Common features to all the dialog
These features are commonly available in many TortoiseHg tools, so we
document them here just once.
Geometry Restore
================
Our primary applications like commit, changelog, and datamine, will
restore their geometry and position from the last time they were run.
This includes maximization.
If the state to be restored does not fit within your current screen
dimensions, the application will revert to factory default dimensions.
The TortoiseHg dialogs which are more transitory in nature (clone, init,
synch, update, merge) simply allow the window manager to place them
where it wishes.
Keyboard Accelerators
---------------------
We define a few keyboard accelerators that all of the TortoiseHg tools support.
:kbd:`CTRL-Q`
quit the application, including all open windows
:kbd:`CTRL-W`
close the current window (same as :kbd:`CTRL-Q` if only one window is open)
:kbd:`CTRL-D`
visual diff of currently selected file or changeset
:kbd:`CTRL-ENTER`
activation
:kbd:`F5`
refresh
On `Mac OS X <http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/wiki/MacOSX>`_, the apple
(command) key is used as the modifier instead of :kbd:`CTRL`. However some
keyboard accelerators are internal to GTK+ so you must use the control key to
access cut-paste functionality, for instance.
Visual Diffs
------------
0.8 introduced a visual diff dialog that solves four usability issues:
1) The ability to select visual diff tools for individual files
2) Allows you to use visual diff tools that fork backround processes
3) Allows you to use visual diff tools that do not support directory diffs
4) Provides feedback when no files were modified
If you prefer the previous (<=0.7) behavior of directly launching your
visual diff tool, then you can recover that behavior via the user
-settings dialog and :guilabel:`TortoiseHg->Skip Diff Window`.
+settings dialog and :menuselection:`TortoiseHg -->Skip Diff Window`.
Treeview searches
-----------------
Many TortoiseHg dialogs use treeviews to present lists of data to the
user. The file lists in the status, commit, shelve, and changelog tools
are treeviews. The changelog graph pane is a treeview. And even the
annotate pane in the datamine tool is a treeview.
Most of the TortoiseHg treeviews (as of release 0.8) are configured for
live searches. You simply ensure that the treeview has focus (by
clicking on a row), then begin typing. A small entry window will appear
with the text you have typed and the treeview will immediately jump to
the first row that matches the text you have entered thus far. As you
enter more keys, it refines it's search.
* :kbd:`CTRL-F` will bring up the search window explicitly
* :kbd:`CTRL-G` will advance the search to the next match,
* :kbd:`SHIFT-CTRL-G` goes backwards
* The mouse scroll wheel will advance forwards and backwards through matching lines
