Add / Revert / Next / Previous git isn't ergonomic

[jsoref]

Issue Type: Bug

There's a mode where one can add (stage) / revert / go to next / go to previous change in a file based on git diff (roughly the equivalent of git add -i ...).

1. The buttons for add/revert/next/previous are on the opposite side from the anchor to trigger the bar
2. While there is a next option, it sometimes shifts the next code point to the same spot on the scren, and sometimes moves the bar to elsewhere on the screen.

Ideally it would be easy to perform all of these actions w/ minimal "cursor travel".

Notice how this one is in a different spot on the screen which means that even though I've been able to click revert and then press option-f3 for the last couple, I now need to move my mouse to get to this spot

And now my mouse has to travel back to the previous spot.

I've intentionally narrowed my screen to a very very very very tiny size so that I can perform some of these actions w/ reduced travel. But here, let's consider using the right bar to jump and then the left edge to trigger the bar instead of using option-f3:

jumping:

oops, I missed.

let's scroll back to where I was supposed to hit:

At this width, clicking the left marker: isn't terribly painful wrt travel to choose the revert button.

But, let's consider the case where my window is normally sized:

Now my cursor must travel from the far left edge of the document to the far right edge of the document in order to hit revert:

Now, if i'm using that right bar to jump to the next item, it's (kinda) close to where my cursor is....

But, now I get to jump to the far left again just to open that bar.

---

Ideally:

1. when using the next / previous buttons/keystrokes, the bar position shouldn't shift -- even if that means some empty space needs to be provided above. -- yes this means that the document should still scroll even if the next target was visible onscreen.
2. it'd be good to be able to hit the right side instead of the left gutter in order to trigger the bar, that'd mean one could do position jumping, followed by opening the bar, followed by picking an action w/ minimal travel.
