Single Key Presses in Interactive Mode

When staging changes in interactive mode (git add -p), you have a number of options associated with single keys. y is yes, n is no, a is this and all remaining, and so on.

By default, you have to press enter after making your selection. However, it can be configured for single key presses. Add the following to your git configuration file to enable single key presses for interactive mode:

[interactive]
    singlekey = true
