Just to be 100% clear, existing Org menus will not disappear any time soon. Even if we change menus to transient, I will make sure to leave a customization to switch back. New menus will probably use transient/other external menu UI though. As for your response, I will provide some comments, but I also suggest you to send a bug report to Emacs, so that Jonas has a chance to pay close attention. > 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 In other words, you need visual-line-mode inside transient buffers.

How do you usually know it? On my side, there is an indication after I customized (setq-default indicate-buffer-boundaries 'left) > 3) transient does not allow changing font size with > text-scale-increase/decrease (but a smaller font would not be > legible) This sounds like an omission. Again, you can use `transient-base-map' to work around, but it is better to be discussed as a dedicated bug report. > 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. AFAIU, org-fast-todo-selection interface was never scrollable. At least, it looks like it was the case 17 years ago. May I know more details about which exact menu you are talking about and when did scroll stopped working? I may be missing something. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
