PR detail

Four tabs across the top: Conversation, Commits, Checks, Files. Switch with ← / →. The right edge of the tab bar shows state-action shortcuts (Ctrl+X close, Ctrl+D to draft, etc.) that follow the current PR state.

PR-wide actions (any tab)

x	Request changes.
m	Merge (opens the merge dialog, squash / merge commit / rebase).
o	Open in browser.
l	Labels picker.
v	Reviewers picker.
Ctrl+X	Close PR.
Ctrl+O	Reopen.

Caution

Confirmation dialogs open for destructive actions (close, merge, toggle-draft, delete-comment) so you can’t fat-finger an irreversible call.

Tabs

Conversation

Shows the PR description card, then every comment, review, review-comment, and timeline event in chronological order. The selected card has a top-border ribbon with card-local actions:

Press	Action
c	New comment (opens the comment editor overlay).
Shift+R	Quote-reply to the focused comment.
e	Edit your own comment.
d	Delete your own comment (confirmation dialog).
+	React (emoji picker, toggle on/off, your reactions highlighted).
↵	Open the first #N reference inside the focused card.

#N mentions are styled inline and clickable. The picker is mouse-aware.

Files

Lists every file touched by the PR with +/− line counts. Enter drills into the file’s diff, same view as commit-detail diffs, including hunk navigation and in-diff search.

Commits

Shows the commits in the PR with author + avatar + date. Enter drills into a commit’s detail view, where every diff / blame / file-history flow works as in the main app.

Checks

Mirrors the CI run on github.com’s /pull/<n>/checks page, every check run grouped under its parent workflow. Workflows are collapsed by default; the cursor lands on workflow headers first so you can scan status at a glance.

Press	Action
↑↓ / j / k	Move through workflow headers and (when expanded) their check rows.
Enter / click on a header	Expand / collapse the workflow group.
Enter / click on a check row	Open the “Open on GitHub” dialog, log streaming isn’t local, the dialog confirms and o jumps to the run URL in your browser.

Compose

1. n from the PR list opens the compose form, fields for Title, Body, Base branch, Head branch, Labels, Reviewers, Draft.
2. Type in the Body, markdown supported, with live preview on the right.
3. Type # to open the mention popup: filter by number, ↑↓ to pick, Enter to insert as #123.
4. Submit with Ctrl+S rebindable via [keybind.scope.compose] submit.

The body field also supports word-jump editing, Ctrl+H / Ctrl+W / Ctrl+Backspace delete word left, Ctrl+Left / Ctrl+Right jump by word.

The OAuth token used by these features is stored at ~/.config/gitoui/github_token.toml with 0600 permissions. Reissue it via the Configuration view’s GitHub Auth section if you need to rotate.
