BookStackApp
Editor on wide-angle monitor
Describe the feature you'd like
In full screen and normal editing mode.
There are empty spaces on a wide-angle monitor. Is it possible to create a button to automatically adjust the content to the width of the window in edit mode?
Just as if we were editing a windowed program where we can adjust the window width, the editing field will adjust to our needs.
Or a button that allows you to expand the window in which the editor is open to 100%/75%/50% of the width?
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
Editing CSS/HTML to achieve such an effect does not require any work for every person. I see that many users have reported a minor problem and are suffering because of this while using this great app. Such a button or option in the settings can handle the matter cleanly and elegantly.
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Yes, but it is cottage industry carving and not befitting such a great application.
Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

Hi @cosmicDustOfLightLength,
The edit view is intended to mirror the display view of page content. I wouldn't look to change the content width just for the edit view, or maintain addition options to support a variable max width.
The set content width has been discussed, with some potential workarounds, in #1757. I have previously provided my thoughts in regards to the set width in #3408.
I've thrown together some CSS and JavaScript that can be put into the "Custom HTML Head Content" -> Extra Wide Pages and Editor for selected pages | Reddit
I'm going to go ahead and close this off under the reasoning as provided in my last comment. Thanks @PhilippRieth for sharing a potential workaround for those that desire it.
