Yes, that is a well known feature introduced last year. I saw hundreds of people talking about it on Twitter and here on Hacker News. Link for people who didn’t know about this feature: https://mobile.twitter.com/github/status/1425505817827151872 https://mobile.twitter.com/github/status/1425505817827151872 and the official documentation with other keyboard shortcuts: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-github/keyboard-shortcuts https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-github/keyboard...

  I didn't know about it! I primary use a corporate hosted instance GitHub (so we often opt in to new features late), and I don't follow a lot of tech news on social media.

if you press it from a PR you'll get the vscode PR viewer which is way nicer than Github's (IMO, especially for larger PRs) the only thing missing is the ability to switch between changes from last commit, last review, etc.

I often use `t` to quickly search for a file by name. It's got reasonably good matching: querying for "foo.svg" will show a match for "foobarbaz.svg".
