Clear Highlighting on Context Region

[lkirkwood]

Briefly describe what you are trying to do

Loving this package, but when I add a buffer to the context using the -b option in gptel-menu, the added buffer/region is highlighted. The output is then generated and highlighted, but the output highlight clears after pressing any key. Is there a way to clear the context highlighting as well? Currently I have to close the buffer and reopen it. Thanks!

Additional context Emacs version: 29.4 + latest DOOM Operating system: Linux, Ubuntu + Sway

Can you be more specific? The output shouldn't be highlighted at all, and I don't understand what's happening when the "output highlight clears after pressing any key".

You can control this by setting gptel-context-highlight-face.

Apologies for the vague description. In the screenshot you can see the response from the LLM, highlighted in yellow. You can also see the context (all the text in the buffer) is highlighted in darker grey. The yellow highlighting disappears when I press a key, but the dark grey highlighting on the context does not. Is there a way to clear this highlighting without killing and reopening the buffer?

You can control this by setting gptel-context-highlight-face.

This could be what I'm after, I wouldn't mind just doing away with the highlighting entirely. Should I set this to my default face? How would I go about doing that?

Thanks for your time

Are you using Emacs in a terminal?

Yes, this is from adding the buffer to the context. I think there is some confusion here about what the context commands are for.

In the example you show above, it is unnecessary to add the current buffer to the context. gptel always includes the current buffer up to the cursor with requests. The context commands are for adding other buffers or regions in other buffers. If you add the current buffer to the context it will be sent twice.

Why do you want to clear this highlighting?

I see. This makes sense, thank you. Closing this because obviously this is the expected behaviour and I just misunderstood.
