Shortcut to input commit message from the command palette

[lborres]

Prior to the latest patch I used to have a shortcut to commit changes. What usually happens is it warns me that I don't have staged changes and I just press 'Accept' or whatever it is to stage the stages and commit. After that It would ask me for a commit message in the command palette, I just had to type and then it commits afterwards.
Ever since the new update 1.69 where we got the Commit button in the source control I would try to use the same process I did but now it won't ask me for a commit message and instead just shows me an error message that I have not entered a commit message.
I would appreciate it if I didn't need to leave my current view to have to go to source control tab, and have to use the mouse to click on the commit message. It would be nice to have a command available for it.
Thank you :)

@LRBACN, could you please try disabling the git.useEditorAsCommitInput setting and see if that resolves your issue?
Would you also be able to create a recording (ex: https://gifcap.dev) as I would like to better understand your process as I would like to make sure to address it even if the git.useEditorAsCommitInput setting is enabled. Thank you!
