Description

Hi, thanks for building a keyboard-friendly alternative to GH's PR UI.

When reviewing a large PR, I would like to be able to mark files as viewed. This way, when I submit a comment on the pull request and the PR author updated the code, and I come back to the PR, I can focus on just the files that have been changed since last review.

On GitHub API side this is possible through GraphQL [markFileAsViewed](https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/mutations#markfileasviewed) mutation.

Research direction

Start by locating the pull request file-review UI and its GraphQL integration, then read the GitHub markFileAsViewed mutation documentation linked in the issue. Done means a reviewer can mark PR files as viewed and later focus on files changed since the previous review.
