Executing chord 2-1 on 'git' did work for me. The 'log' argument has to be selected in its entirety, but not the trailing new line, which would generate an 'invalid key error' message, if passed to 'git'. Alternatively, you may just click with button 1 on the argument being passed, and then do the 2-1 chord on 'git'. This worked for me as well. Hope this helps. Do you get any output when you try doing the 2-1 mouse chord on git? On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 8:15 PM, Brian Zwahr wrote: > I guess I should clarify that I=E2=80=99m not using win.
