Ornaments popover syntax questions - arp and gliss

I do a lot of variations on arps and gliss from the Shift+O ornaments popover. I was wondering the following (after having read the manual for this topic).

Arpeggio Signs - is there a syntax I can enter for an arp curved (not wiggly)? I’ve tried typing “arpcurved” with many variations on this grammar and syntax, but every time it adds a wavy/wiggly one.

Glissando Signs - wondering if there exists a shorthand syntax for the variants? The manual says you can type “glisswavy” but I was wondering since many popovers offer abbreviations if that exists. ‘gw’ does nothing.

Also, is there a way directly within the popover to add and enable text? For example sometimes on strings when adding a straight gliss, I do like to have ‘port.’ on the line to make it extra clear the intention is an obvious slide. I usually enable this in the bottom panel afterwards but was trying to figure out if there is a syntax in the popover not mentioned in the manual. I tried ‘gliss port’ or simply ‘port’ and nothing works.

Thank you!

You can use arpslur to create the Arpeggio Up (Curve) arpeggio type.

You can save one character by typing glisswav but there’s nothing shorter than that.

There’s no way to override the gliss. text via the popover at present.
