Edit commit message with current message as placeholder

[dimateos]

Would be nice to get the message your are going to edit as placeholder instead of a general one:

For example when I undo a commit with the vscode "Git: Undo Last Commit" I get the commit message used:

For comparison the edit branch name does provide the previous name as placeholder:

Just saw #87, which I did not in my initial basic search about "commit message" or whatever.

Feel free to close this one, although has images for reference.

About complexity (and unforeseen required necessities) VS utility tradeoff, totally understandable.
I might end up using the UNDO command and editing it there anyway out of habit.

I saw https://github.com/phil294/GitLG/blob/master/web/src/state/default-git-actions.json with id string such as "{COMMIT_HASHES}" so I wonder if something like "{COMMIT_MESSAGE}" could be cached and used in the action titled "title": "Edit message"

Yup, and it's good to have an issue for this now. {COMMIT_MESSAGE} would be the way to go, but the thing is the full message is not available, it's only fetched on demand for the commit detail view. So we'll need some logic that detects the COMMIT_MESSAGE and when it's there, will query for it, before the git action can be executed (but already modified). And then it'll still have to be loaded for the commit details view because the two logic pieces don't have anything in common, really. so maybe some sort of commit message cache.. yeah that's why I haven't done it so far.

and then there's also the need to make the input field a multi-line textarea instead if some default value contains a newline
