Yes, kindof. Sorry for not being more clear about the intent.
I would prefer that the automatic selection of a staged file happens
also when adding files while the Commit Message widget is in focused.
For instance, if the user focuses the Commit Message widget and then
hits CTRL/CMD+i a staged file should be selected (if it isn't
already).

I don't understand why it doesn't work. I'll play around some more with it.

Sorry for not doing that, I'll take not and do that next time.
