How to use keyboard to focus on git commit message input VSCode?

Question

Is there any way to focus to this input by keyboard rather than mouse click in VisualStudioCode?

Answer 1

Well certainly not ideal, I've found that ctrl shift G then ESC , Tab will focus the Source Control Message input.

Now when you repeat ctrl shift G it seems to focus the input directly.

Answer 2

As a workaround, we can use the extension multi.

Define shortcut like:

    {
        "key": "escape",
        "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
        "args": {
            "sequence": [
                "list.focusFirst",
                "list.select",
            ]
        },
        "when": "listFocus && workbench.scm.active",
    },
