Description Markus Keller

The commit viewer uses the Compare Mode setting from the history view, but it doesn't show the current mode nor does it allow to toggle the mode. This makes double-click and Enter in the Files section unpredictable.

Either add a Compare Mode toggle button to the commit viewer (preferred) or choose one default action.

Would that be a separate setting or would that button also toggle the History view's compare mode? I think the former would be preferred, right?

Yes, a separate setting would give maximum flexibility.
