GOAL
Make right arrow key open a selected file in the files-widget browser, instead of only expanding directories.
- +0Prompt · +0Can we make it so that right arrow on a selected file opens that file?
- +0mAgent did · +0mLocated files-widget/browser.ts and read the keyboard handling code for the browser input.
- +0mAgent did · +0mModified handleBrowserInput so right arrow (and 'l') opens a file when selected, still expands collapsed directories, no-ops on expanded ones.
- +1mPrompt · +1mgreat, commit/push
- +1mFail · +1mGit commit failed with a stale index.lock error from another git process.
- +1mFail · +1mAttempt to remove the lock file failed because it no longer existed, yet the commit still hadn't gone through.
- +1mAgent did · +1mChecked git status, then re-ran add/commit/push successfully, producing commit dce9b6a pushed to main.
- +1mOutcome · +1mFeature shipped: 1 file changed, 2 insertions, commit dce9b6a pushed to main.
VERDICT
I'd start the same way next time — describe the keybinding behavior I want and let it find the file itself. The only friction was a transient git lock error on commit, which resolved itself once I checked git status and re-ran the commit; no real intervention was needed from me.
