In this case, I very much prefer having no toolbars - I'm presented with a dirt simple window for entering a commit message which is exactly what I want. If you tweak a default to include toolbars, please continue to provide a "commit instance".
The #top-of-buffer solution is a bit of a pain - instead of
editor = vs +new -snorestore
I need
editor = vs_git
along with a new vs_git file that looks like
#/bin/bash
vs +new -snorestore "$1" -#top-of-buffer
This works, but now I need the extra script anytime I set up a new virtual machine.
What I really want is a braindead window to open to enter a commit message, save it, close the editor, and pretend all that never happened. So far,
editor = vs +new -snorestore -snoconfig
appears to achieve that.. I'll run with this a while.
