Details

  • Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

Bash (MINGW64)

  • What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a

Whenever I create a new commit, Vim opens up and displays the commit message. Bizarrely, I am unable to use the shift key to capitalize letters within my commit message (holding shift and typing a key results in no character being typed). Using caps lock works fine to type uppercase characters, and lowercase characters can be typed without issue. This problem is reproducible with the following command sequences.

# sequence A
git commit --amend

# sequence B
git add .
git commit

  • What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

I expected to be able to edit the commit message normally in Vim.

  • What actually happened instead?

I was able to edit the commit message in Vim, but was unable to type uppercase characters using the shift key.

Should be fixed in the latest snapshot.
