What probably matters to you Section of the release
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.
