Hi @zsviczian !

Thanks you so much for this new feature so amazing !

I've been doing some testing since it came out and I have some feedback.

1. I didn't notice it too much until now but with the annotation of the PDFs it jumped out at me. I often switch from the "normal" view to the full screen (especially when I open a link) and each time I lose the focus on the page I was annotating.
2. In my first experiences I tend to annotate pages from the vertical linear import. This is good for reading and annotating I find. But often at the end of reading and annotating I want to stabilize the annotations I've taken by grouping them on the page and then moving the pages around and organizing it as a drawing. This leads me not to "book on a page" but to "page as a book" by linking the notions mentioned in the page to the corresponding markdown notes. This is very interesting.

👏🏼 The tool is great, it's a pleasure to use and after 20 years of trying to combine the visual and the textual I think we have a wonderful combo thanks to you.
Thanks to you, your efforts and your enthusiasm.

I assume you are using the Excalidraw: toggle full screen mode action on the command palette.

In Excalidraw plugin settings try turning off "zoom to fit on resize":

Yes, you are right. I hadn't noticed that option. Thank you for pointing it out to me.

Based on the screenshot you may want to set the opacity of the link icon to a lower number... the blue link indicators will look less intrusive. See at the bottom of the screenshot. Also in plugin settings.

Yes, I noticed that. I'm still testing... because I'd really like to manage my tasks in a way.
