how to achieve word wrap on list items ?

there's text after you which is cut by the terminal window size.

if not using a list, any other suggestion on how to do it ?

i looked at grid, but each column of a grid is independent, so you lose the list behavior

@rivo commented on GitHub (Jul 9, 2022):

Lists don't implement word-wrapping and likely won't in the future. Word-wrapping is implemented in TextView. If you use "regions" in a text view, you can highlight parts of the text. You can then also override the keys using SetInputCapture() to fit your needs.
