my apologies if these might be simple questions, but I'm new to both affine and GitHub and haven't been able to find the solutions myself.
I recently found affine and generally think it's just what I've been looking for (Finally one where I can turn that godawful AI **** off!), except for a few things that really bug me, e.g.: I can't freely adjust the size of text boxes, if there's not a lot of text I can't make them small enough to neatly wrap around it.
It may be my AuDHD, but it really bothers me to have big, half-empty boxes that take up space I could use better and also result in the connections not being symmetrical/centred, either.
Is there any way to change this? I only see the custom height option, but even that won't actually let me make it as small as I'd like it to be (especially considering I can't seem to chose a font size, only headings or text).
Oh, and it'd be awesome if there were + to quickly add connectors at the top or bottom, too.
Another thing I'd love to be able to do is pin the text formatting bar somewhere, either at the edge of the doc or right above the text field, so it's always visible, but I haven't found an option to do so.
Also I've been trying to copy some notes onto by board and for some reason, despite the original text all being white (in dark mode), some of it pastes as green or yellow, no matter how many times I try. (I've finally figures out that "highlight" is equivalent to text colour, so I can change it, but it'd be cool if I didn't have to do that for every other textbox.)
Also I'd love it if there was an undo/redo button. Especially when I just tried it out on my phone (in browser, don't really want to download another app), I couldn't figure out how to do it, since I can't use Ctrl+Z/Y. ;)
But also I noted that on my phone, the first word in a textbox always disappears, but when I re-type it, it sticks. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c973ea8a-d3ca-4f9a-8607-d992b9dee586

Hi everyone,
