Same shortcuts as Next/Previous Bookmark works also for this purpose.
Not working for me on v.8.0. I tried setting "Next Bookmark" and "Previous Bookmark" to two different shortcuts and neither worked to navigate between diffs.

I tried by going to the view differences view (where the old and new versions are side by side) and invoking next/prev bookmark did nothing.

I tried it in the normal file editor where the differences were and the keystrokes did nothing. I also tried clicking the little green change marker in the sidebar of the file (so that the up/down/refresh buttons were visible) and invoking the keyboard shortcut and still nothing happened.

Trebi, do the bookmark shortcuts still work for you in 8.0? If so, could you describe exactly how you use them to navigate diffs that works?

Thanks!

Hi ionunion, thanks for replying.

I'm really puzzled why it's not working for me. I tried setting a couple of actual bookmarks and using the keyboard shortcut I set up and it works for that, but I still get no results in terms of navigating between diff-locations when there's no bookmarks.

ionunion, could it be that I'm using the Mac version? Are you on a Mac or something else?

Are you using Git?

Does it work for you in the main editor, in the side-by-side diff view, or in both? Can you describe exactly what you do?

Thanks!

Jeremy, i'm experiencing the same symptoms you are, i.e. I can't find a way to get "next/previous diff" keystroke shortcut to work.

I'm using v 8.0 (without patches). After installation, the "ctrl-./," shortcuts were bound to "next/previous error" which didn't work for diff. I then rebound to "next/previous bookmark" which also didn't work.

To answer your questions:
- I'm using Netbeans on Linux
- I have the Git plugin installed.
- I've tried this in the source editor, the "history" view for a file, and via Tools > Diff. I also tried both the graphical and textual tabs of the diff viewer.
