Unfortunatly I have encountered a bug with vim when doing 'git rebase -i' or 'git commit':\n\nI am not able to type capital letters, so commands for selecting rows (V), pasting above (P) etc are not working. I am also not able to type 'ABCDE' in insertion mode. Small letters and capital umlauts (ÄÖÜ) work. If I open the vi without git, I can type the capital letters. If I use nano as editor, I can type capital letters as well. \n\nDowngrading to git 2.24.1.2 solved the problem for now (I double checked and reinstalled 2.27.0 again => same issue).\n\n\nRegards\n\nDaniel Dyk\n\n\n___________________________________________________________________\n\n\nDaniel Dyk\nSoftware Developer\n\n\nIfTA Ingenieurbuero fuer Thermoakustik GmbH\nJunkersstrasse 8\nD-82178 Puchheim \nGermany \n\n\n\nTel. +49-89-8392719-42\nFax +49-89-8392719-11\nhttp://www.ifta.com\n\n\nGeschaeftsfuehrer: Dr.-Ing.
