't' worked fine but still can see how to diff do of the list of changes for a file. Viewing diffs of files based on change sets worked fine but I think with BitKeeper I found it helpful to be able to do a full 'kompare' type diff the file only; often I'm not interested in which change set it went into.

Good Idea, thought it's brought up a few questions: 1. When I do the to Decrease the font size I can't undo it with the . Also doesn't seem to do anything. 2.

I'll read it a few more times. I seem to sometimes get into a state where I'm locked onto the current change set and can't get back to the other change sets without starting another qgit. > >> I'll get the latest and greatest.
