Easier moving between changes

[kocv59]

When I open DiffviewOpen on a file, the cursor starts in the file panel. I think it is better for the cursor to be in the diff of the current file and the first change after your cursor's place in the file. There can be a keymap like Tab and S-Tab to go forward and back through the changes in that file instead of between files.

Are you aware of the builtin mapping ]c?

	]c		Jump forwards to the next start of a change.
			When a count is used, do it that many times.

That can solve last part of the issue.

The first part can be solved with an autocommand. If you put this into your config, then after running something like DiffviewOpen origin/main -- %, the cursor will be on the first change in the file:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  pattern = { "DiffviewViewEnter" },
  callback = function()
    vim.defer_fn(function()
      require("diffview.actions").focus_entry()
      vim.cmd("normal! ]c")
    end, 100)
  end
})

See :help diffview-user-autocmds for more info on autocommands created by Diffview.

@kocv59, please, close the issue if the suggestions work for you.

@kocv59 Does dlyongemallo#61 (the focus_diff option) do what you want?
