Git: Command to stage all selected files

[abgivant]

• VSCode Version: 1.12.1
• OS Version: Windows 8.1

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but currently I'm not able to stage multiple files at a time using a keyboard shortcut. I am able to do this using the UI (by clicking the "Stage" button on one of the selected files), but not with a configured keyboard shortcut.

For example, in SourceTree I'm used to selecting a few files (by either control- or shift-clicking), then hitting the space bar to stage them. I tried adding the space bar as a shortcut for the "git.stage" command, but this will only commit a single file in the selection, not all selected files.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VS Code and configure a keyboard shortcut for the "git.stage" command
2. Open a git project
3. Make changes to multiple files in the project
4. Go to the Source Control pane in the explorer
5. Control-click or shift-click to select multiple files in the "Changes" section, then type the keyboard shortcut configured above

Expected Result: All selected files should be staged and appear in the "Staged Changes" section
Actual Result: Only the top file in the selected set is staged

Related to this, is there a context for keyboard shortcuts that is specific to when the Source Control pane of the explorer is active? I didn't see one listed in the documentation on the site.

There's a global Git: Stage All command.

Its id is git.stageAll. You can assign a keybinding to it.

I tried that before, but that will just stage all available changes. I am trying to stage all selected changes.

So if I have made changes to 8 files, but only want to stage 3 of them, I want to be able to select the 3 files in the explorer and use a keyboard shortcut to stage only the selected files.

This isn't currently supported.

@joaomoreno It IS currently supported but there obviously is a bug. It's supported simply by selecting multiple files in Source Control, right clicking and picking "Stage Changes". The problem is that the corresponding command only stages ONE file (always the first chosen) whenever one invokes it via designated keyboard shortcut instead of right clicking. So obviously it's a bug.

Reproduce:

1. Map command command": "git.stage to any hotkey
2. Select multiple files with changes in Source Control View
3. Right click, click "Stage Changes" - all selected files are committed (observe that the keyboard shortcut shows up in the context menu)
4. Instead try to invoke keyboard shortcut for command": "git.stage - it only stages the first selected file, not whole selection of files.

@gandalfsaxe Correct. Closing this for the original issue. #24916 is for the keyboard issue.
