While point is inside a diff in a Magit buffer I press RET, which invokes magit-diff-visit-file.

After checking this file, I want to quit it and get back to the Magit buffer that was previously showing.

I type q, it does the job but it always says that I start keyboard-macro recording.

So two questions here:

  1. What does q actually do in the buffer shown by magit-diff-visit-file?
  2. How can I list all the commands in the buffer after I run the magit-diff-visit-file command?

    While in magit-diff-visit-file do C-h k q to find out what q does. Oct 23, 2018 at 19:26
  • I corrected your question to say what I believe you are asking. E.g. pressing RET in a diff-mode buffer does not invoke magit-diff-visit-file. diff-mode is not part of Magit.

  1. To see what command is bound to some key X type C-h k X. In this case it should tell you that it is bound to magit-kill-this-buffer or if magit-diff-visit-file took you to the working tree version of the file self-insert-command.

  2. You can use C-h b to do that in any buffer.

I don't know why pressing q tells you that you are starting keyboard-macro recording. That has something to to with your local configuration. Try to produce the issue without your customizations. You might want to use magit-emacs-Q-command to get some help with that.
