Consistent tag creation

[loeffel-io]

Hey, thank you very much for this great tool, use it everyday.

In the local branches view i can create Tags with T, while in the Tags view i must use n

Can this not be consistent?

Thank you!

The design philosophy here is that n is your binding for "new". You can see that by the code structure for the binding inside of the Tags view:

lazygit/pkg/gui/controllers/tags_controller.go

Lines 44 to 50 in 01eece3

	{
	Key: opts.GetKey(opts.Config.Universal.New),
	Handler: self.create,
	Description: self.c.Tr.NewTag,
	Tooltip: self.c.Tr.NewTagTooltip,
	DisplayOnScreen: true,
	},

That lets you press n in many contexts. A new branch in the branch tab, a new remote in the remote tab, etc... I currently see 8 controllers using that Universal.New keybinding.

If you want to have the ability to hit T to create tags while inside the tag context, you maybe do that with a custom command, but this will be inferior to the existing n behavior, which uses annotated tags and lightweight tags. I'm not aware of a way to rebind the universal new keybinding just within just the tag context.

Possible custom command:

customCommands:
  - key:     "T"
    context: "tags"
    command: "git tag {{.Form.Tag}}"
    prompts:
      - key:   "Tag"
        type:  "input"
        title: "Enter a Tag Name"
