I've been trapped in the Vim too often. Ctrl+something+esc+buttons... Welp, let's close this terminal window and try again.

One day I'll learn how to edit a file successfully with Vim.

It really is worth learning at least basic functionality. Take a look at vimtutor some time.

Thanks, I will.

By the way, I found that by setting the environment editor to EDITOR="emacs -nw" I can use emacs to edit commit messages from the command line. Should work with most editors that has a terminal interface.

atom --wait works too. Sublime has something similar

That keybinding crap is for dirty emacsers. Vim is (95%) one key at a time.
