How many times have I hit Esc to lose the long message I had written in "enter" (describe edit mode).

No way to get it back, no history.

I suggest we have ctrl+c to cancel or something like that, and esc would simply save: alt+enter and ctrl+s are too far. On a mac, we don't have the habit of ctrl+s, we use Cmd+S elsewhere, so the reflex isn't there. Again with alt+enter, we're used to Cmd+Enter for the same behavior, so it's not as natural either.

Most git interfaces will accept Cmd+Enter to ship a commit.

In any case I'd like for a way to make it less trivial to lose valuable messages that often take long time to type in.

thanks!
