Happily we can now create annotations, and view annotations (including longer multiple-line annotations). Thank you for making that happen!

Sadly, if you want to create an annotation that takes up more than one line, gitui currently can't do it. I need this for my use case, which is putting release notes in git tag annotations. This is helpful for bringing release notes to non-GitHub platforms and local repos. Without this, I will still be stuck creating annotations from git itself.

When I go to create a tag in gitui, I hit t to write the tag name, then ^a to write the annotation. But here enter/return would save the annotation, there is no way to write a second line.

Describe the solution you'd like
Given the current workflow, I think the simplest solution would be to add ^e to open the editor, as we do when writing a commit message.
