I use the artist-mode more than i can count, and mostly use the rectangle form, especially when writing (my own mindmap/concept map workflow that i come to like) but i always have to fix the part myself when writing inside of it.

Any ways to make the rectangle in artist-mode auto resize or prevent them from breaking when writing inside of it? (as if it was it's own buffer/windows, so text don't go over the limits of the rectangle, without the form breaking)

  • I know isn't a general solution (I barely touched `artist-mode`), but what about writing first and then warp region between point and mark in a rectangle using `C-c C-r`? – Muihlinn May 12 '20 at 06:12

    Yeah, i did try this among other trick i found, but what i want is a bit more, shall we say "seamless", mostly because i was used a lot to the workflow of vim + [this gem](https://github.com/gyim/vim-boxdraw) and couldn't find anything else beside `artist-mode`. It basically auto resize (and prevent the form to break), and i'm sure it is possible in elisp, though i don't know myself how :) @Muihlinn – Nordine Lotfi May 12 '20 at 06:19
  • This is similar to [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41352871/). – awllower May 12 '20 at 17:07
  • Yes, and while i tried what was showed on the answer on the aforementioned post, they didn't work: mainly, once you quit untabify mode, or go back to plain `artist-mode` it then break the form at some point... @awllower So while this is a similar post, the intent is different as my question is clearly stating "auto resize" but the other post, while it does show similarities, the question isn't as explicit. – Nordine Lotfi May 12 '20 at 19:27
