    - left lists: keyboard shortcuts for commands

Fixed Bugs
----------
- Graph:
    - branches might jump downwards when extending the graph
- Log window:
    - revealing a branch might have failed (auto-loading might have not get triggered)
    - Commit Details: tag-groupong tags should show up for commits with exact tags, too
- Standard window:
    - Integrate: for diverged main branch, with deactivated progress dialog, nothing happened
    - changing keyboard shortcuts did not apply them until the window was closed and reopened
    - possible internal error switching from Local Files to History
    - All Branches + Tags: HEAD occurred with tag symbol
    - Graph:
        - clicking branch arrow did not load more commits
        - switching between All Branches + Tags and Stashes caused tag display flickering
- Working Tree window:
    - Repositories: right-clicking a bare repository did not show any external tools
- File Compare: syntax coloring was not correctly selected if no pattern, but a full file name was configured
- WSLg: opening the browser did not work

Other Noteworthy Changes
------------------------
- Add or Init repository: don't add initial commit, because Commit will do that already
- Graph: layouting improvements with respect to the sorting of tip commits

- Repositories, Remove: tries to close the repository before removing
- Log, Working Tree windows:
    - Push: should be enabled for multiple remotes not named "origin"

        - performance improvements (by using a .git/index cache like the Log window)
        - reduced memory consumption for repositories containing many files
    - Tools main menu: contains only tools that operate on the repository root;
