Re: "i don't know if it's only me, but the input field,the one i..."
On desktop, the app's input field is designed to be expanding on purpose. This is because input queries in Gemini are first and foremost meant for small amounts of text, like search terms, or the entering a name for something. That is why the UI starts out small and expands as needed.
In recent versions of Lagrange, you can grab the left and right edge of the input popup to make it wider/narrower, and you can also change the font size. These changes make the UI more natural for entering longer pieces of text.
There is also a setting for the line break behavior, if you prefer the Enter key to just insert a newline.

oh, this is great to have the config option about the enter behavior. also, i understand why it starts like that now. thank you for the possibility to resize the input field.

drh3xx, any chance you remember which build dependencies you install before building lagrange?
if there was noone i would maybe become a maintainer and i would package lagrange and lagrange-mobile.
but the current maintainer is against it and i cannot go in to/have no skills to argue about it.
i already justified the need, and the maintainer already refused to do so.
i don't know if it's only me, but the input field,the one i am writing thi-text in, feels uncomfortable. it is only one line at first,. i wish it was an input field like memo from the beginning. also right now i am afraid to press enter because it won't start from the new line, it will post my unfinished text. this doesn't happen with the long text field.
