Subject: [PATCH] fix: AltGr text input in commit field and clearer repo open
 errors

Treat Ctrl+Alt character input as text on Windows so AltGr layouts (e.g.
German braces) work in the commit message field (#2848).

Improve repository open error messages for discovery/not-found failures
instead of misleading bare-repo wording (#2866).
