This is all well and good for Edit, Look, etc. However, it keeps me from being able to, for instance, select “checkout .” or “pull —prune” and then 2-1 on “git”. So, two questions: 1.)

I've just tried doing that with 'git pull', and 'ls -ld .', both commands working as expected for me.

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 <echosa@icloud.com> wrote: > I guess I should clarify that I’m not using win.

The issue when I need to send multiple arguments. For instance using 2-1 to add “pull” or “checkout” to “git” works. However, using 2-1 to add “pull --prune” or “checkout .” does not work. At least, not in +Errors. It does work in win, though, apparently. > On Jul 16, 2015, at 12:39 PM, Alexander Kapshuk <alexander.kapshuk@gmail.com> wrote: > > I just tried typing 'git' into my '/project/root/dir/+Errors' with > 'log' selected in a different Acme window.
