Bug ID: 446355
Summary: Esc key closes terminal panel when Vim is open in
Insert mode when using Git.
Product: kate
Version: 21.08.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: daobr...@redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I use Kate to edit XML and DocBook files on a daily basis. As required, I open
the Terminal panel and run `git commit`, which opens Vim. Normally I enter a
commit message and press Esc, and then `:wq`. Everything "just works".
Yesterday I upgraded to Fedora 34. Now when I try to enter a commit message,
when I press `Esc` the Terminal panel just closes, but the Vim session stays
open (you can find it with `ps`). I've searched all the Kate shortcuts to see
if `Esc` was mapped to something but can't see it.
This only seems to happen when I use `git commit`.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I can do this:
- F7 to open the terminal panel in Kate.
- `vi my-file` to open a new file.
- `i` to start editing stuff.
- `Esc` to exit insert mode and proceed as normal.
But, if I open the terminal panel and do git commit dir-name/ (as per normal)
and then go into insert mode, I can't get out again.
OBSERVED RESULT
In the Terminal panel, `git commit <dir>` opens Vim. I can change to Insert
mode but I cannot Escape from Insert mode.
EXPECTED RESULT
The `Esc` key should exit Insert mode and allow `:wq` etc., as normal. This has
always worked before.
