thanks for interest.
the transient menu i am trying uses more character columns and
lines than window (c-u m-x gptel-send). transient's solution
does not work well for me.
1) wrapping
- 3 text columns. rightmost text column (header: "Response
to") has lines that wrap at rhs (not word) to lhs (not
beginning of that text column), putting lines between items
in first text column.
- (for clarity: by rhs and lhs, i mean where text goes, at
smallest usable font, maximized gui frame, no wm
decoration, one window in frame, 2 fringes)
- BEST SOLUTION FOR ME: wrap at word boundaries, /within each
text column/, as is done when one exports org tables to
html
2) vertical scrolling
- BEST SOLUTION FOR ME: SPC DEL, as is done in org export
menu
- in transient, SPC and DEL make echo area say ? for help.
? makes the message go away but nothing else changes.
another ? brings up the help for function gptel-send.
i'd want scrolling.
- transient is vertically scrollable using up down arrows
and c-v m-v, but those are harder on rsi and harder to
locate on my kb than SPC DEL
- i did not notice that there are lines below window. if
there isn't an indicator, BEST LOCATION FOR ME: left fringe
in cases where fringe exists.
3) transient does not allow changing font size with
text-scale-increase/decrease (but a smaller font would not be
legible)
- transient:
- Archive: gnu
- Version: 0.8.1
- dependency issue before explicitly installing this version.
- emacs 29.4
- org 9.7.16
- gptel ~/.emacs.d/elpa/gptel-0.9.6.0.

some current org menus, although REALLY GOOD, have possibly
regressed in recent years. in any case, for example, export is
scrollable; todo kw is not, so i cannot access some todo kw.
i put a lot of effort into this response, hope it makes sense.
[p.s. attempting re-send as reply to all as my first response went to
ihor only. i hope this is not too jarring as a top post and sent to
all recipients. idk which recipients are included 1] because others
included them easrlier in the thread/conversation vs. 2] because they
are not on the emacs devel list or the org list an want copies.]
[p.p.s. this webmail ui drives me nuts and some solecisms are due to
it being inaccessible [e.g. no compose button showing, not clear how
to change subject header.]
