Btw you can cancel a commit if when issuing :wq the whole file is only composed of either blank lines or lines beginning with #
Relatedly, why would one remember to do :q! or :cq depending on if there's pre-existing content if they can just cancel in Komet and have it do the right thing ;)
> they can just cancel in Komet
I'll take four keystrokes over <move hand to mouse>, <move mouse to button>, <click button> (and a debatable <move hand back to keyboard>). Even if you count that as 3v4, the keystrokes are quicker than the mouse movements.
I get that not everyone wants to deal with vim, and may use a GUI editor for other stuff - but for something as small and specific as git commits, I really don't understand why you'd want to install something new; for what, a button?
And you largely misunderstood. Komet has a shortcut for making the commit (command return). The mouse is just a supplemental possibility....
Having a more convenient shortcut is not the only reason I use Komet.
[edit]: and to address for "something as small as commits" -- well, I write commits pretty often. So it matters a great deal to me to have an aiding tool, and definitely not for a task I'd consider 'insignificant'
