Don't the up and down arrows switch the commit (updating the diff pane
as appropriate), and PgUp/PgDown scroll the diff window (I don't know
the actual function names, but you should be able to even rebind these
in your tigrc if you want).

Damn. I'm so used to the vi keybindings pressing j/k to move down/up
that I didn't check the cursor keys.

Well, initially tig worked similar to what you expected and a program
like slrn, where up/down (or j/k) moves between articles (commits) and
you have to press enter to actually show/load the commit in the diff
view. This mode might be more natural, and Jari has argued that it
would make tig (and it's many forks) more bearable to on Cygwin
running on an old PC.

Anyway, I would like to add support for something like this in the
future. But it will require some restructuring of the code to make the
link between the main view and it's diff view more natural.
