[FR] Larger Editor (Overlay)

[Pixel3ro]

The following is how I originally imagined #26, which is slightly better than using split-view imo.

When someone who writes a lot from Canvas, or reading a very long Note, The small card view may not be comfortable.

• The ability to Zoom into the Canvas, fitting the note to ~80% of the screen.
  • This is executed upon Triple-Clicking a Note, making a handy and intuitive key to access this feature.
  • Upon pressing the view zooms-out to initial value.
  • Making it easier to form Spatial awareness in the Canvas would add to the user experience.
    • It is important to have perceivable yet quick animation while zooming in and out.
    • I mentioned ~80% of the screen is utilized to display the note, and not 100% because, the background - connections - files around the Note should be visible to create a sense of being in the Canvas and the Note's relative position within it.

Another way of achieving this.

• While zooming into the note is one way of achieving it, a lot of space in the Screen is wasted since most Notes are Square and the Screens are 16:9.
  • A Editor Overlay animated-launched from the note upon triple-clicking it.
  • Clicking outside the Editor Overlay should close it. OR closes it
  • This might give the user the benefit of a fully utilizing the screen, and offering a Focus reading in-contrast to the spatial awareness in the earlier method.

Hover editor doesn't work in Canvas.

and Hover editor is designed to quickly work on a backlink. even if it worked in Canvas, it'd create multiple copies of the same file leading to more clutter. and the primary issue here is about utilizing more screen-space, while Hover Editor is just another small window.
