Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-561:
-----------------------------------------
Here I'm not upset. Yes I understand that. As the second link says it good:
"This is how intelliJ works", because they use dialogs for quick things a lot
like refactoring, new file, git and maybe some other stuff too.
Yes we have some dialogs but they are working different for example Go To
Symbol/Type/File, or the Search Dialog. I also like it clean but also quick, I
don't prefer a lot of wizards to have like new file. This is also a quick thing
that is easy and clean in IntelliJ. Don't take me wrong, all over the years,
NetBeans does a greaet job in UX, IMHO better than intelliJ. But with growing
features and growing plugins etc. I have a big context menu and it will getting
bigger and bigger with some plugins (doesn't matter the feature from 3rd-party
plugin can be implemented into NetBeans core or not). So i need my mouse or
holding down the keys to navigate to the git context entry. I don't use the
menu, sure I could use "alt + m -> m" to use the menu "Team" but here it seems
that Alt + m has a different action that it not working here, yes I could
change it but a dialog will fix such a problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is not the NetBeans way, but it is handy. We
don't need the solution, we need redundency. So we have a menu entry, some
actions are working with Quick Search and we have the context menu. But all of
them doesn't fit that need, that is described here.
> Create a separated dialog for the version control system

> Key: NETBEANS-561
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-561
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: versioncontrol - Git, versioncontrol - Mercurial,
> versioncontrol - Subversion
> Affects Versions: Next
> Reporter: Christian Lenz
> Priority: Major
>
> The version control actions are all inside the context menu in a subMenuItem.
> It would be better to separate them completely from the context menu and
> create a new dialog only for version control. That makes the UX more handy.
> You can have a shortcut for it and it opens immediately w/o using the right
> click and search for git/svn/mercurial or whatever and go the action what you
> want.
> It should be similar to the context menu for the repository browser but often
> I don't use the repo browser. It should be possible to search inside such a
> dialog while typing.
> Here are two links of this implementation in intelliJ:
> https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/version-control-integration.html
> and
> http://mrhaki.blogspot.de/2013/03/quick-access-to-vcs-operations-in.html
