How to type multiple lines for body part?

[WqyJh]

I was trying to type multiple lines for body part, but when I type the Enter key it moved to footer part, which means that I could only type one line for body part.
So I was wondering how to change lines when typing for the body part.

hey there's no current support for this unfortunately. I will implement something to not escape the new line symbol. It'll be possible to do My body \n is great.

Eventually I'll try to migrate to the new python-prompt-toolkit 2.0.0 and we'll see if it possible to use something like shift + Enter.

Meanwhile you can modify the body with git commit --amend

Well, thank you for reply. I think git commit --amend is a good way of doing this.

Have you considered switching from whaaat to PyInquirer? In addition to supporting the latest versions of the prompt-toolkit, it support the editor type so that users can enter multiple lines of text via their favorite editor. I can git that a shot if you'd like an submit a pull request if I get it working. The developer for whaaat seems to have no time at present to maintain that project while PyInquirer is still active (https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer).

I'm moving to questionary. It had support for prompt toolkit 2 and is maintained.

Wil check if it's possible to multi line.

Edit: pr here #9

As I tested, it seems commitizen doesn't support multiple line input yet.

After reading python-prompt-toolkit::multiline-input, it does not seem to be a good solution to me.

How about implement it like cz-cli?

Provide a LONGER description of the change (optional). Use "|" to break new line:

Seems like a valid option. I'd give it a try, it may not be the best, but it's something to start with
