How to jump to the next file header when viewing a multi-file diff through less?

[voidus]

I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to jump between file headers in less.

Maybe there is some search magic that would work here? I used /^diff before I used delta, but delta doesn't put that marker in.

Hi @voidus, you've seen the navigate feature, right?

      --navigate
          Activate diff navigation.

          Use n to jump forwards and N to jump backwards. To change the file labels used see
          --file-added-label, --file-copied-label, --file-modified-label, --file-removed-label,
          --file-renamed-label.

      --navigate-regex <REGEX>
          Regular expression defining navigation stop points

So what you're aiming for is to use those settings to cause it to visit precisely the boundaries you want. Let me know what you come up with. I think that that particular requirement (file boundaries, but not within-file commit hunk boundaries) is one that's less obvious how to achieve. I believe that for this reason I personally sometimes set the diff context to a high number (e.g. -U999) so that there are no within-file hunks.

No I didn't, that's why I wrote this. Thank you!
