It seems that Shift+Tab doesn't do anything (on Windows 10).
Regardless, imo there should be a binding dedicated to toggle amend.

I assume you're talking about the button in the "Commit" dropdown
menu. I agree, it could be just a single entry which is a toggle to
enable/disable amending. And (above the commit message dialog) perhaps
just a single checkbox; "Amend Last Commit". In other git GUIs (Git
Cola and TortoiseGit) I see they're using just a single checkbox for
this option. But maybe that is a slightly different topic, the hotkey
behaviour would remain the same.

How do you guys feel about it? So far it seems we're at two "yay" and
one "nay". I really feel it is in the best interest of the git-gui
project to implement this hotkey. And not just because it is my
personal preference to have it :-)
