Option in settings for markdown input/output

ChatGPT Feature requests

There is no tag for web-interface. Alas.

I would like to be able to get both input and output in markdown.

At present I can enter input in MD, but I have to use shift-enter to not trigger the send message. At that point my entry is stuffed into a bubble. Because I used shift enter, if I copy into any app that doesn’t see shift enter as the the same formating request as enter, it turns into a blob.

Or I compose in BBEdit, and paste. Extra step.

So the first fix is simple. Add a “Send” button in the web interface.

The second part is a bit harder:

I don’t want to see that bubble. I want to format my dialogs like this:

Dart:

stuff I want to say, formated as markdown so I can use

  • * bullet points
  • * Lines that begin with # signs for bigger print
    • \ * Nested bullets
      *> >quoted text

anyway, I enter all by stuff.

Then hit the SEND button.

No bubble, I jsut see my markdown, remforated for consistency.

Wins for me:

  • The numbered blocks help me to keep text in multiple files sorted.
  • I can use a referemce to a numbered block in messages to Chatgpt.
  • The presence of hte named inststance, keeps my therapy conversations clearly distinct from my conversation about teaching critical thinking.
  • Having it in markdown allows easy use for reformating into web pages or google docs.
  • The send button means that I don’t have partial transmissions where I’ve not finished setting up the qeustion.
