UI Features

abapGit UI has several unobvious but convenient features.

Command Palettes

Command palettes are a popular UI control available in modern editors like Sublime, VSCode, Atom and others. There are two command palettes available in abapGit.

Command Selector

Pressing the F1 key anywhere in abapGit will open a palette of all possible commands. Type one or more letters contained in the description of the command to narrow down the list. Then use the arrow keys and Enter to select and execute a command.

If you don't want to run any command, press F1 again to close the palette.

Repository Selector

Pressing the F2 key anywhere in abapGit will open a palette of all existing repositories. Type one or more letters contained in the description of the repository to narrow down the list. Then use the arrow keys and Enter to select and jump to a repository.

If you don't want to select any repository, press F2 again to close the palette.

Keyboard Navigation

General

abapGit supports the general browser control keys:

• Escape, F3, and Alt + Left Arrow go a page back
• Alt + Right Arrow goes a page forward

Hotkeys

For each page, abapGit defines certain hotkeys (or keyboard shortcuts). If you press a hotkey, it will execute the corresponding command immediately. You can display the list of possible hotkeys by pressing ? anywhere in abapGit. You can find a Hotkeys Cheat Sheet under references.

Hotkeys

To close the hotkey popup, press ? again.

Link Hints

abapGit provides a clever feature to highlight and select any link (including buttons and menu items) on a page. You can activate link hint in your personal settings.
