Usage

Keymap on Tig

Following commands are available on tig launched from tig-explorer ``` e, : edit on existing tab : edit on new tab : edit with vsplit window : edit with split window

o: open with commit on existing tab t: open with commit on new tab v: open with commit with vsplit window s: open with commit with split window ```

When a commit is available (in main, blame, tree, refs view) view, the version of the file corresponding to this commit will be open instead of the version in the working directory. Split versions will open the two buffer in diff mode.
