Impressive, although quite large program! One suggestion: Use PgUp and Pgdown to scroll a screenful, and use arrow keys to scroll one or two lines. Use shift with some keys to scroll half screens. Is there a keyboard shortcut to go into remotes or tags panes?

Yeah I regret using pgup/pgdown for regular scrolling in the beginning. I'm gonna add keybindings for paging up and down properly (so that a user can remap those to pgup/pgdown) and I think down the line I might change that to be the default behaviour, but it's tricky when it comes to keybindings people are now familiar with after using the app for a while.

Glad you're thinking about this. It was the first "bump" I hit as a new user.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Honestly... I'm the exact opposite. It's impossible to craft a complex GUI intuitively I think.

Apparently it was also impossible to craft a complex CLI intuitively.

agreed. verbose `-h` with examples being The Dream:)
