DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Diff panel base can be cycled with ctrl+x b

Use it now

Diff Panel Notable not in their notes

Press ctrl+x b in the diff panel to cycle which revision it compares against.

ctrl+x b
What

The action that switches which revision the diff panel compares against now has a default key binding, ctrl+x b, active while the diff panel is focused. It existed in the previous build with no key attached, so it was unreachable without a custom keymap.

Details
  • Bound in the default keymap under the DiffPanel context only, so the chord does nothing elsewhere.
  • The action is listed as "switch diff panel base".
Evidence

{ context: "DiffPanel", bindings: { "ctrl+x b": "app:cycleDiffBase" } }

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
