Use case or problem

Back in 2022, it became possible to resize Canvas cards to match the text content by double clicking on the right or bottom edge when the “resize” cursor becomes visible. This is nice, but it means I have to click four times to resize a card horizontally and vertically. This is especially fiddly on smaller cards.

Proposed solution

Double clicking on the corners when the diagonal resize cursor appears should resize-to-fit horizontally AND vertically.

Current workaround (optional)

Lots of clicking.
