Automatically select next change after (un)stage

[hannesbraun]

I think automatically selecting and showing the next change after staging or unstaging is more useful than having nothing selected.

While I think that this is already an improvement, I wasn't able to keep the focus on the (new) selected element so that I could use the arrow keys to further navigate in the changes after (un)staging. I'm still new to Avalonia and might be overlooking something. Maybe you know how to fix this... 😅

Actually, I don't like this feature.

• As you said, it's hard to auto focus the next change since the background data (local changes) will be re-calculated after file system watcher detects some file in repository changed.
• I don't really want to add too many predictive user actions to this project. When people stage/unstage local changes one-by-one instead of all, which is the next they want to check?

I've pushed another implementation for this feature.

Thanks!

Hmm, I wouldn't say it's predictive. It just allows me to further navigate in the changes after a (un)stage with the keyboard. The use case would be (at least for me) if I have a lot of changes and I want to navigate through them with the arrow keys and stage just the ones I want. If the changes are small or very similar this would also allow me to double check the diff just very quick again (by staging each file one by one) before I author the commit. All of this would also be possible using the mouse, however that takes more time. But of course, this use case might not be relevant for anyone. I just thought I'd share it. So I understand if you don't want to add it. It's a pretty good git client already :)

And sorry for my somewhat delayed answer.
