Install

pi install npm:pi-stretchtext

Or from git: pi install git:github.com/MonadicMike/pi-stretchtext.

Set up

Clicking a stretch needs Pi's fullscreen TUI mode. It is Pi's default; if you switched to regular mode, turn it back on in any of these ways:

in Pi, open /settings and set the TUI mode to fullscreen,
or in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json set "tuiMode": "fullscreen",
or start Pi with pi --tui-mode fullscreen.

In regular mode the keyboard shortcuts below still work.

Use

Action	Fullscreen	Any mode
Open a stretch	click its underlined short form	`alt+o`, then its letter
Close a stretch	click the « after it	`alt+c`, then its letter
