How do I revert / discard specific lines of a file when staging prior to a commit?

[Moult]

If I select a file and press <enter>, then I can see hunks. I can either line by line press space to toggle that line as staged or unstaged, or use <v> to visual select then stage my selection. However, how do I revert the visual selection or a single line?

In git gui, I can select line(s) then right click and press revert lines/hunk.

I saw this discussion #3157 but that seems to be after you commit, whereas I'm talking about prior to committing, when I'm busy staging.

Awesome tool by the way I love it!

Try pressing <Enter> on a file to get the staged and unstaged changes view, and then press <Tab> to switch between the two.

I don't think that was the question.

What git gui calls "revert" is called "discard" in lazygit. (That's a better name because "revert" has a different meaning in git.)

To do that, select the lines that you want to discard (either using v, or just by pressing shift-down-arrow), and hit d for "discard". d is a very general keybinding in lazygit for discarding, deleting, or dropping all sorts of things.

Thanks so much that was what I was after! (I vaguely recall trying it out but not getting the intended results, I must've messed up somehow)
