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.
