I'm with the other comments here, but what's the deal with the '120 fps scrolling' blah blah blah? This clearly isn't a game or movie -- why are we talking about frames?

Hey, I should have maybe made this more clear - I definitely don't care that it's 120fps more that the frame rate doesn't drop and we aren't seeing freezes. Initially the project was, with large files, with syntax highlighting especially or switching very large branches. The built-in FPS counter actually proved really helpful in observing these.

Just to add to this, I also observed in some of these cases the frame rate dropped in a non-transient way on that it remained low. I think this should be covered by more of a soak test but it has still been very useful for me to see a constant fps.

Forced dark theme -- please don't punish me for having astigmatism--can't do dark mode

not to mention that light themes produce less eye fatigue and strain. but who cares about that

Wouldn't it be the opposite? Light themes cause more blue light and thus increasing eye fatigue.

no, it’s a matter of contrast and readability and matching your ambient lighting. i’m in a warmly lit backlit room. i don’t sit in the dark like an interrupt gremlin

And dark themes hide my floaters and are easier on my old eyes. There is not one singular answer for everybody.

do you use a dark theme in a well lit room? i did for my first year as a dev long ago and got the worst eye fatigue of my life all the time. as soon as i switched to a light theme that matched the room i had zero problems since, that’s my anecdoata

I like how it looks. But the terminal already has excellent diff and commit tools.

I'm curious, what's some user-friendly terminal based tool to say stage only a couple of discontiguous lines from changes in a single file to commit in Git? I think I've tried the git command line "interactive" mode, and is really painful. I find myself going to an IDE, selecting the line and right-clicking + "stage selected ranges" to achieve that.

Have you tried `git add -p`?

There are cases it doesn’t handle well, like if you want something at the bottom of a file with lots of irrelevant changes. And if you want one line but not the line immediately below, then splitting doesn’t work without starting the interactive editor, which can be confusing.
