That last point, yeah, I was thinking a status bar would be handy but now that I'm typing and thinking about it, maybe I'll just change the cursor color. That's enough of an indication and then no new ui elements need to be added.

The reason it's not a single key to toggle between vertical and horizontal is because I had imagined even more directions beyond those two, diagonal in all four ways etc... we'll see if I try those out xD

Regarding the center start position: that's a bit of a departure from a text editor. This demo is supposed to be like if notepad.exe magically grew another dimension. If the origin is the center then above and left if origin would be outside the document? It doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you for your awesome feedback!!!!

Yeah I totally see what you're saying. For me if I built a tool like this I would think of it more like the equivalent of "tensors meets mind-mapping node tool" - so the idea of growing multidimensionally from a center point feels more conceptually on-point. :)
