[TSVN] UI Suggestion - Keyboard Method To View Diff in Commit Dialog

From: Steve Strobel <steve_at_link-comm.com>

I recently started using TSVN (currently using V1.1.5) and have been very
impressed with its polish. There is one quirk that keeps tripping me
up. From the commit dialog, I often review the changes I made in each
file. It it easy to do by double-clicking on the filename. I would like
to have a way to do it from the keyboard too, as I usually step through the
changes in the diff viewer using the right/left arrows on the keyboard,
then press ESC to return to the commit dialog, down arrow to select the
next file, then press Enter hoping to view the changes I made to the next
file. Instead of showing the differences in that file, pressing Enter
makes TSVN go ahead with the commit, usually without any comment.

My suggestion would be that if the file selection widget has focus, that
pressing Enter would work like double-clicking on that file, rather than
completing the commit. If that isn't acceptable, another option would be
to make right-arrow do it. That would correspond pretty well with
selecting the next difference in the diff viewer.

Thanks for considering this suggestion,

Steve
