C-x v v should work just fine. If you mark multiple files it commits
all of them, if none are marked it commits the file on the current
line. vc-dired did the same thing.
It does not have a shorter binding yet, or a menu entry.

Can you please explain exactly what the problem was?

C-c C-c kills the update process (second to last menu entry).
