Block size adaptivity compromise

[MsBlockCat]

Expected Behavior

This isn't an expectation at all, just an idea for how to deal with block size (I'm not sure how much this would affect performance either). With that said, I think it would be neat if when you click on the block editor area, the blocks shrunk to about Scratch 2 size, while when you tap on the editor area with a touchscreen, the blocks grow back to Scratch 3 size. This way, people who dislike how large the blocks are right now would be happy, it would work well on mobile devices, and also would work great on convertible devices like the Surface. It could probably use similar code to the zoom in and zoom out buttons (while making certain the text inside the blocks is readable in zoomed out mode as much as in Scratch 2), but perhaps with an (optional for accesibility purposes) animation showing the zoom in or out to be less confusing to newer Scratchers.

Actual Behavior

Right now, many Scratchers who try out the Scratch 3 preview think the blocks are too big, but they need to be big for touch support. This might be a nice compromise if it would be feasible.

Steps to Reproduce

It can't be reproduced, as it's just an idea for a compromise.

Can you tell the difference between touch/click? Also, is this going to be zoom or just inflate the blocks?

[MsBlockCat]

I'm not a great coder, but as far as I'm aware there's a difference between touch and click inputs. As for the zoom vs inflate, it's up to the Scratch team haha... Zoom might be easier to code if I had to guess, though, since they already partially added that elsewhere (they might just have to add a transition animation between zoom levels)
