Hi, Git gathers user input via text editor in certain commands (e.g. "git commit"). If you configure a text based editor, such as vi, then this works great as the editor is opened in your terminal window in the foreground and in focus. However, if you configure an editor that runs outside your terminal window then you might run into the following problem: Git opens the editor but the editor is the background or on another screen and consequently you don't see the editor. You only see the Git command line interface which appears to hang. I wonder if would make sense to print "Opening editor for user input..." or something to the screen to make the user aware of the action. Does this sound sensible to you? Am I missing an existing solution to this problem? Thanks, Lars
