Summary

Now that the browser supports multi-repo queries, the two repo-activation keys diverge to match the natural mental model — Enter means "just this one," Space means "add/remove from the set."

Previously both Enter and Space toggled a repo in/out of the multi-repo query scope, so there was no way to quickly reset back to a single repo.

  • Enter → single-select. The highlighted repo becomes the sole checked repo (scope collapses to it) and focus moves to the Content panel. It never toggles off, so the scope can't end up empty.
  • Space → multi-select toggle (unchanged). Adds/removes the repo from the scope, keeps focus on the Context panel, and still guards against unchecking the last repo.

Changes

  • Panel::activate_selected_exclusive — new panel method that makes the selected item the sole active one regardless of multi_select; backs Enter's single-select.
  • activate_context_selection now takes single_select and branches the Repos-tab logic accordingly.
  • Keybindings help popup: Context panel now reads Enter → Select repo, Space → Toggle repo (previously both said "Toggle repo").

Scoped to the Repos tab only — the Owners tab (a filter, not a query scope) still toggles on both keys.

Testing

  • Added activate_selected_exclusive_collapses_scope_to_the_current_item.
  • Full codemark-tui suite passes (191 + 14 + doctests, 0 failures). cargo clippy clean for the changed code; cargo fmt applied.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Press Enter to select a single repository and move to the Content panel.
    • Press Space to toggle multiple repository selections while staying in the Context panel.
    • Updated help text to clearly describe Enter as “Select repo.”
    • Prevented users from accidentally clearing the final selected repository.

Previously both Enter and Space toggled a repo in/out of the multi-repo
query scope. Now the two keys diverge to match the mental model of the
new multi-repo search:

- Enter selects the highlighted repo exclusively — it becomes the sole
  checked repo (scope collapses to it) — and moves focus to the Content
  panel. It never toggles off, so the scope can't empty.
- Space keeps the existing multi-select toggle, adding/removing the repo
  from the scope and staying on the Context panel.

Adds `Panel::activate_selected_exclusive` to back Enter's single-select,
and updates the keybindings help popup (Enter → "Select repo", Space →
"Toggle repo").

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TUI now treats Enter as exclusive repository selection and Space as multi-repository toggling. A new panel method supports exclusive activation. Context-panel help text now describes Enter as “Select repo.”

Changes

Repository selection behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Exclusive panel activation
crates/codemark-tui/src/component/panel/mod.rs
Panel::activate_selected_exclusive activates only the selected item. Tests verify that repeated calls do not deactivate it.
Repository selection flow
crates/codemark-tui/src/browser/events.rs, crates/codemark-tui/src/browser/bindings.rs
Enter replaces the current repository scope and moves focus to Content. Space retains toggle behavior, final-repository protection, scope synchronization, and Context focus. The help text labels Enter as “Select repo.”

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to a32a8

Enter can leave the interface showing the previous repository when the newly selected repository cannot be opened, creating a mismatch between the selected scope and displayed content; merge should wait until that state synchronization issue is fixed.

Greptile Summary

Enter now makes the highlighted repository the sole query target, while Space retains multi-repository toggle behavior.

  • Adds exclusive activation support to reusable panels.
  • Routes repository activation according to the pressed key without changing Owners or Auth behavior.
  • Updates Context-panel help text and adds unit coverage for exclusive activation.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with no concrete changed-code failure identified.

The key dispatch passes the intended selection mode, exclusive activation resolves repository entries through unique roots, and workspace synchronization preserves a valid nonempty scope.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
crates/codemark-tui/src/browser/events.rs Correctly separates Enter’s exclusive repository selection from Space’s existing toggle behavior and preserves the other Context tabs.
crates/codemark-tui/src/component/panel/mod.rs Adds exclusive activation using repository identity and verifies scope collapse and repeated activation.
crates/codemark-tui/src/browser/bindings.rs Updates the displayed Enter binding to match its new selection semantics.

Add tracing for exclusive activation.

Line 460 adds a repository-selection state transition without a tracing event. Emit tracing::debug! with target codemark::ui after the active state changes. Include the selected key and active-item count.

As per coding guidelines: “In Rust code, instrument new functionality with tracing::debug!, or with info!, warn!, or error! when appropriate, using the matching codemark:: subsystem target.”

Make Context help text depend on the active tab.

Lines 42-43 show repository actions for every Context tab. On Owners, both keys toggle the selected owner. On Auth, neither key activates a repository. Branch these labels by ContextTab so the help text matches the active tab.

Keep panel state synchronized with the effective workspace scope.

RepoWorkspace::set_scope keeps the previous scope when every requested database fails to open. This code already changed the panel to show toggled_root as the sole active repository. set_focus then ignores that root because it is absent from the workspace. The Content panel can therefore show the old repository after Enter selects a new one.

Make set_scope report the effective accepted roots, then restore the panel active state from that result before after_scope_change() runs.
