How to exit the 'Enter commit message' dialogue in JetBrains/RubyMine VCS


I'm working in the terminal that comes with RubyMine. I did a commit, then got the 'Please enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary'-dialogue. I entered a commit message, but now I can't seem to exit this dialogue/submit the message.. How do I exit?

Pressing esc didn't do anything.


Solution

  • Turns out esc actually does something: it gets you out of text-editing mode and allows new command. It just didn't give any visual feedback.

    After pressing esc I typed :wq and all was well.
