Feature request: Select multiple changes to see the combined diff

[abergs]

Hey, thanks you for publishing this UI tool for JJ!

I'd like to be able to select my last N changes and see the combined diff. I use it to pre-review the code before opening a PR.

Noted: Currently there's a nifty way to select two changes to compare them.

Current workaround: I create a temporary merge and then undo to read it properly before pushing.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

I can see how selecting the last N changes and viewing them as one combined diff would be useful for your workflow. That said, this feels a bit more like a personal usage habit, so we may consider it later rather than prioritizing it right now.

Personally, I’m also used to keeping changes in the working copy and reviewing them locally first before push a bookmark. Jayjay is designed to make reviewing the working copy easier:

1. It shows the reviewed file count, like 4/8, and you can also split and commit from there. “Reviewed” also means “selected”.
2. If there are new changes, reviewed files will automatically become unselected again.
3. You can press Space to mark a file as reviewed and automatically jump to the next file, and use arrow keys or j / k to navigate changes.
4. If you're reviewing working copy, new changes will just show an indicator so it won't interrupt suddenly
