Re: "Longer input text fields"
It would be great to have shortcut/button to expand the input area to half the page/full page.

@shtirlic This is more of a client thing, for me that's Lagrange. If there was a "big-input" button, the type-in panel could get bigger and the insert-line-break key could change from "shift enter" to "enter".

@cquenelle One option for that would be to repurpose the Titan upload UI for a "big input" mode. It might motivate me to improve the in-app text editing capabilities. 🙂
@cquenelle @skyjake I really like this idea of having the line break key change from enter to shift+enter when the user switches to big input mode. It would be very convenient.
Longer input text fields — I'm not proposing a spec update or anything like that, yet (as that seems unlikely). This is just more of a question. Is there anything that can be to tell a browser that an input field is long and should be displayed like a textarea preferably? For a search box or for simple question/answer type inputs the current input is appropriate. But for longer fields, such a when posting on Bubble, it should be displayed more like the tweet box on Twitter. The other solution...
