Describe the issue

I know it's not for everyone, but I would like a wrap at 72ch for the body; a warning when the subject passes 50.

The editor/text field itself is also really small, which makes it difficult anyway & I appreciate would make it awkward to render a wrap at 72ch since it's already soft-wrapping at about 8 out of necessity - might have to pop a modal instead? The 'edit message' does appear in a modal editor, but it's still tiny anyway.

It would be convenient to have a 'rich' way of writing a code block, say just markdown style backticks which then turns it monospace, which then is actually committed as an indented block instead as is the norm (and which GitHub & GitLab for example also respect and will render as code blocks).

Thanks for reporting! I did turn this issue into an enhancement as this could be a more intuitive way of writing commit message.

For one, the text box shouldn't be smaller than the suggested standard width, and additionally one could provide a rich markdown preview possibly with transformations to produce even more standard messages (e.g. backticks to indented code-blocks).
