Possible to add new lines in detailed description?

[peterjuras]

First of all, thanks for creating this extension, it adds a lot of value to my workflow! 🎉 🙏

I wanted to ask whether it is possible to add new lines in the detailed description prompt, since I currently always have to git commit --amend afterwards to format it correctly in case I want to have new lines in between some parts.

I understand that Visual Studio Code might not allow for a multi-line prompt (I didn't check), but how about adding an identifier which translates into a new line in the commit message, e.g. \n?

Thank you for your feedback.

I think there is a workaround: disabling autoCommit.

The workflow will be:

1. Open VSCode Conventional Commits extension, enter messages.
2. Edit the formatted message in the VSCode Source Control Message box.
3. Commit by using VSCode command git.commit or click the √ button in Source Control panel.

I'll try to implement \n as line break soon.

Thanks this also works well for me! 👍

Thanks it works for me too, it would be nice if it could force focus the message text input when the message is added.

@DiogoAbu Thanks for the suggestion, but the VSCode git extension does not provide the API to focus the message input for now.

Edited:

I've tried, when autoCommit is set to false, after the extension, message will be put into the VSCode message input, and the input is focused by default.
