Increase Notes Box Size Automatically with Window Space
Notes space is a determining factor for me and a GTD Tool. In my first 30 seconds of seeing GTDNext (9/5/14), 2 things stood out.
1) Why is there a large border of wasted space between the task/project list and the Action Details area on the right? (large white void)
2) Notes Box: Hey, it's there and it can be enlarged, but this dragging of the bottom right corner does not "stick". It doesn't stick as a setting for all, nor even for the one I enlarged after clicking away and back.
Hey, how about the notes box simpl always extends to the bottom of the viewable window? (The "Advanced Settings" section is still always be in the bottom right corner - just all the way to the bottom right corner, while the Notes box grows with one's window size to fill in the unused space automatically)...
in 5.13 we now allow notes to be viewed/edited in the main window. Giving you a lot of space. Just press SHIFT+ENTER while in the projects and actions view to open up the notes area.

Hi Kyle - Yes, we are going to be making some other improvements to the edit panel - so when we do that work, we will look at maximizing the notes window. But we want to batch that work to happen all at one time.
Keep playing with the SHIFT+ENTER - It is very cool (imho) and I think you will like it once you get used to it. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks James - it's somewhat of an improvement.
The con being the user still has to click through each item, then hit Shift+Enter to view the notes of each item.Is there a showstopping reason you can't just expand the notes box on the right to the bottom of the page (moving "Advanced Settings" down to snap to the bottom of the window, as suggested?
Right now, there's just a bunch of wasted white space at the bottom of the right pane: Notes could be easily visible here if the box was stretched to fill this space...

It's a shame I can't fix my typos... ;) Sorry.
