If you're using Emacs and git, you might want to look into magit, which allows you to touch-type through common git operations. If you commit a lot, this will speed you up significantly. http://philjackson.github.com/magit/ http://philjackson.github.com/magit/ I use custom Elisp to combine magit, git-blame, and other commands into a unified git environment: https://github.com/emk/elisp/blob/5db6db4e7d96a3ef1c0a5fee762f41b3da99f1d9/git-tools.el https://github.com/emk/elisp/blob/5db6db4e7d96a3ef1c0a5fee76... https://github.com/emk/elisp/blob/5db6db4e7d96a3ef1c0a5fee762f41b3da99f1d9/dotemacs#L162 https://github.com/emk/elisp/blob/5db6db4e7d96a3ef1c0a5fee76... https://github.com/emk/elisp/blob/5db6db4e7d96a3ef1c0a5fee762f41b3da99f1d9/dotemacs#L362 https://github.com/emk/elisp/blob/5db6db4e7d96a3ef1c0a5fee76... It's especially handy to be able to pull up git-blame information for the current buffer with just a few keystrokes. This turns your git commit messages into a layer of hidden code comments.
