Sublimegit is great, but doesn't play well with Vintage.
If you're not familiar with Sublimegit, go check it out, it's amazing and integrates nicely with Sublime Text workflow. However, there is a caveat - named Vintage. Vintage's option vintage_start_in_command_mode (which I have set to true) makes opening the Git: Status rather unusable.
I digged and found a way to fix this. The answer is the ChainOfCommand plugin by jisaacks. It allows you to (as the name suggests) chain commands. Now we can open Git: Status in insert mode, with the following keybinding (which is of course arbitrary):
{
"keys": ["ctrl+g", "s"],
"command": "chain",
"args": {
"commands": [
["git_status"],
["enter_insert_mode"]
]
}
}
I also made a chain for commiting the changes (so that the commit message opens in insert mode as well):
{
"keys": ["c"],
"command": "chain",
"args": {
"commands": [
["git_commit"],
["enter_insert_mode"]
]
},
"context": [{
"key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "text.git-status"
}]
},
{
"keys": ["C"],
"command": "chain",
"args": {
"commands": [
["git_commit", { "add": true }],
["enter_insert_mode"]
]
},
"context": [{
"key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "text.git-status"
}]
}
