Description

@ZeppLu

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

Ctrl+G has two distinct functionalities: edit the prompt with $EDITOR; or skip the question, even when focused on the input field of choice

Proposed solution

Make them separate shortcuts, so one would not mistakenly skip the question when he wants to edit the input field with vim.

Example prompts or workflows
