Multiple External Diff tools
As a user of many projects where the source files are not "human readable", It would be really useful to either have freely selectable, file type specific or repo specific external diff tools.
For example I use git to version control KiCAD circuit board designs. There is a visual diff tool that I like to use for this. It would be great to either be able to choose the tool when I open the diff, to have the repo using that tool or file extension specific.
Right now I have to diff these externally to gitkraken while managing the repo itself within gitkraken. It would be helpful to be able to do both within one place

This is very surprising that this feature does not exist yet. I design models in Matlab/Simulink (*.slx files) and gitkraken does not help me at all for any of the basic operations like comparing versions, rebasing since it considers these files as binary... I always have to go through Simulink and then do the comparison using their diff/merge tool.
I hope this feature will come very soon.
