Unfortunately, insert-output doesn't seem to work with gitui under Windows - I don't see the application although I can see the control codes after I've quit. It does work with lazygit, but for me lazygit has a ~200 ms lag for every input, which makes it horrible to use.

Bookmarked for when I switch to Linux full-time.

yep, this method didn't work with this method for gitui on my nixos machine either. And a youtube commenter pointed out that LazyGit (inside helix) can't open files to edit. So this method is definitely not perfect but is probably still useful in the right situation

Yup, I noticed that no-Helix-inside-Helix comment too, but I don't use my git tools to edit files anyway. I often stage only certain lines, so doing that interactively is 90% of why I'd use similar tools.

If you use the kitty terminal emulator and have your favorite git TUI installed (e.g. lazygit), you can map something like this (my current mapping) to get a proper IDE-like git experience:

map alt+shift+f6  launch --type overlay --title "lazygit" --cwd current lazygit

Amazing, I'll try
