Inline Describe

Inline Describe

Press enter on a revision to open the inline description editor. The current description is loaded into the editor.

  • enter: insert a new line
  • alt+enter or ctrl+s: apply — runs jj describe with what you’ve typed
  • alt+e: open the description in your external editor instead
  • esc: cancel

If the revision had an empty description when you opened the editor, pressing esc stashes your typed text as a draft instead of discarding it. The next time you open inline describe on that same revision, the draft is restored automatically.
