Yes. Another VCS client shows a dropdown of recent commit titles. You select an entry and then remove everything except the issue-number prefix.
I don’t miss having a recent-commit dropdown—Git Butler lets you skip tedious steps like amend, squash, rebase, and other small operations you used to need for high-level workflows. Now I don’t waste time on those tasks; I can perform what I need in a single operation.
This functionality could be part of the AI-generated commit message by including previous commit messages/titles in the context and configuring the prompt accordingly.
Or by adding autocompletion — type just the first letter of the issue number, and it gets completed using numbers from previous commits. The same applies to file names too :)
Maybe @krlvi has ideas on the workflow - I could imagine that instead of having a dropdown, instead one could drag an existing commit onto the new commit button to inherit the message. Alternatively, maybe there could be per-lane message templates.

Thanks a lot for sharing this usecase!
Do you mean that when creating a new commit, it should pre-fill the commit-message with the shared prefix?
