While editing text inside a handout, if there is a large amount of text, it starts to get hard to manage the handout. What I'd love to see is: A checkbox to "hide" or "unhide" the 'GM Info' entire section, showing only the currently edited text. Have 'Save Changes', 'Cancel', 'Duplicate', 'Delete Handout', 'Duplicate', and 'Archive' all be on the same row, "line" or plane, instead of two separate rows. Better yet, move all of the above options to the right click menu when using the journal tab, or tucked inside something like a setting wheel. Perhaps even have it behave like editing abilities on a character sheet. A simple pencil icon to start editing, then click a check mark in the upper right to save the changes, or an x to delete it. Reduce the padding some to save window space. Some icons can maybe be a little smaller, like the save changes row/section. Here is an example of my handout, scrolled down and viewing the edit part of the handout about as big as I can get it without making everything smaller and harder to read (something I'd prefer to avoid). This is actually already at 90% zoom on Windows 10 in Chrome, on a 1080p monitor. About half the screen is filled with other things, I can only view text on about 50% of the vertical space. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/35it7unau0l95ig/roll20HandoutEditing.JPG?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/35it7unau0l95ig/roll20HandoutEditing.JPG?dl=0</a> Here's the comparible edit window in Foundry VTT. Much cleaner and large area of text visible. <a href="https://foundryvtt.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/website-media-dev/user_671/screen/the-journal-page-text-editor-2022-08-29.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://foundryvtt.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/website-media-dev/user_671/screen/the-journal-page-text-editor-2022-08-29.jpg</a> Thanks!
And please please please at last enlarge the editing areas! In the handout editor but also in the editor of posts in the game journal (and exactly here where I am writing now) the window to edit is 15% of the screen maximum. And there is no way to increase it further.
