Have you tried tig? Ultimately I’ve started using that instead and it works great as a magit replacement. I use it together with Kakoune in daemon mode, so I can jump in and out of files with tig and have the state with buffers remain.

tig is great. One of my favourite features is that you can define your own shortcuts in the global .gitconfig. For example, when I press `=` it creates a fixup commit for the selected commit. That, together with the ability to stage single lines completely changed my workflow. Recently, I have become a bit lazy and use PyCharm to stage and commit changes. Its diff viewer also supports staging single lines but its better integrated. For example, pressing F4 jumps to the current file/line in the main window.

I love tig. I have an ad-hoc fork of it adding a new window which displays a preview of the selected file in the diff prelude section of the diff window, so I don't have to navigate through the single window. It is very helpful to browse the files in a diff easily. (https://github.com/LucasPayne/tig https://github.com/LucasPayne/tig) I swear I will clean up the fork soon, I just implemented it in whatever way worked. I do something similar to what you are doing with Kakoune daemon mode, but I work in the shell within a vim context. I have bound "e" in diff/stage views of tig to send a message to the current vim to open a new tab for that file at that line. I have not tried magit yet but am going to now to at least extract some great ideas from it and somehow get it in my current workflow.

I haven't. I've only heard of it. For a very short period of time I tried to get into LazyGit running in my Vim terminal. I just couldn't make the workflow work for me. You know how it is when it gets into muscle memory, and you really begin to fly? Yeah, LazyGit didn't ever happen. (Not LazyGit's fault obviously). I may try to play with tig as I'm always looking at different tools. Occasionally I even run into game-changers when trying these things.

  LazyGit (and gitui), don't use use the `EDITOR` environment variable to delegate to the editor (e.g., Vim). So the Magit-like workflow (where you freely jump to hunks to edit them and then return to the status view) isn't possible in them. Tig is the only well-known git TUI that does this, making it the only git TUI that works smoothly with Vim.
