Honestly I'll need some help to get this one implemented. The only
implementation I've got working currently, is to change Alt+4 key bind
to do the following:
- Focus the "Staged Changes" widget (which will select a path in the
list, if it isn't focused already), then
- Focus the "Commit Message" widget

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Birger
