Previously, 'b', backspace, and delete all did the same thing. This changes 'b' to perform the inverse of 'f'. And both of them now highlight the filename of the currently diff.

This makes it easier to review and navigate the diffs associated with a particular commit using only f, b, and space because the filename of the currently display diff will be dynamically highlighted.
