different key binding presets

[extrawurst]

Hey @hkdobrev thanks for your interest in gitui ❤️.

Before Quit was bound to the q key but that did not work in the commit popup, so I added Esc which bugged me because I prefer consistency. Then I got complaints that it is standard to support ctrl+c so I switched it to being the Quit binding.

Ultimately there is no single key bindings that satisfy everyone. This ticket and #43 shows that. The big advantage of gitui is that even if they are odd the bindings are always clearly communicated and nothing to learn from man files.

Anyhow I hope solving this issue will allow you to setup any bindings you like :)

Just bumping this to stop the bot from closing.

Good news! Thanks to @yanganto this is actually on the way. Please checkout the branch (#234) and let us know what you think and how you like it so we meet the many expectations :)

What I've found strange immediately after starting gitui was the different style in key bindings among them. The most stark was using letters for everything, but exiting with Ctrl-c. Most command-line tools taking over the entire screen like that exit with q. git add --interactive also quits with q Enter.

Do you think these could be unified? Thanks!
