Preview

You can open the preview window by pressing p.

Preview window displays output of the jj show (or jj op show) command of the selected revision/file/operation.

You can specify extra arguments you want to be passed to the jj show command in the preview.extra_args of the configuration file.

For example, to show the summary along with the diff then you can use the following configuration:

[preview]
extra_args = ["--summary", "--git"]

If the currently selected item is a file, then jj diff output is displayed.

While the preview window is showing, you can press; ctrl+n to scroll one line down, ctrl+p to scroll one line up, ctrl+n to scroll half page down, ctrl+u to scroll half page up.
