@6abotage thanks for the PR! I like the idea, but there are a few things I'd like to fix before merging. Not everyone may get what '50' means. So, there should be a tooltip. But actually, I'm also thinking of a different approach, maybe being less strict. The easiest way is to separate fields by default. Let me think it over; let's keep this PR open.

Ofcourse, I would be glad to hear about your thoughts on design and UX and can change the implementation accordingly

[PavelLaptev]

Cool, thanks :-) @krlvi is also working on the commits templates feature, so I'll collaborate with him to avoid interfering with his concept.

I actually really like this how it's depicted in the screenshot. Perhaps we can only show it if the text area is focused?

[PavelLaptev]

@Qix- I also like this. Commits templates delayed, so I'll try to check this PR this week.

[6abotage]

Just ping me, if I can help or implement something

@6abotage @Qix- @mtsgrd, what are your thoughts on this concept? I want to combine it with @6abotage's PR and display the counter-tooltip as well.

Branch for testing https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/compare/master...commit-message-concept

Here's how it works:

• Users start by writing the 'Commit title' until they hit 'Enter.'
• Afterward, we show the commit description field.
• The idea is to enhance commit writing by visually differentiating the summary from the commit message via UI. There are some corner cases, but I can cover those later.

@6abotage let's close this PR and move the discussion to this one https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/pull/3134 Could you please check if it solves the issue for you?

Changes I made:

• Added summary and description fields.
• Implemented a tooltip to display when the summary length exceeds a certain limit, instead of using a counter. I opted for a tooltip in order to minimize distraction, and the counter feels more restrictive.

[6abotage]

That's alright, let's close this one.
