Drag-and-drop columns & horizontally expanding canvas

[flashtheman]

Context

• Yoopta‑Editor shows a fixed document width (≈700px)
• Dragging a block to the right of another in the demo only reorders vertically. There's an open feature request [FEATURE] Add possibility to render columns #196 (“Add possibility to render columns”).

Questions / Feature request

1. Drag‑and‑drop to create columns: Is there any (even experimental) way to translate a horizontal drag‑and‑drop gesture into a new column layout, or is [FEATURE] Add possibility to render columns #196 the single tracking issue?

2. Horizontally expanding canvas

   • Beyond the fixed page width, is it possible (or planned) to let the document grow to the right, similar to how it grows downward?
   • Desired behavior: each block occupies the space its content or a fixed width requires; the editor scrolls horizontally as needed, allowing multi‑column flows without predefined page width.

Why this matters

• Some UIs need side‑by‑side blocks whose width is content‑driven rather than grid‑defined.
• Removing the hard page edge lets users lay out dashboards, forms, or design canvases more naturally.

Summary of questios

• Confirmation that no hidden workaround exists today.
• High‑level guidance (or roadmap) for both column creation and horizontally infinite canvas.

Thanks!

Here's a good UX example regarding the drag-and-drop column feature: https://www.blocknotejs.org/examples/basic/multi-column. The horizontal expanding feature is not implemented there either.

They implement it as a plugin.

Maybe you can solve this with a plugin that is so to say a separate editor.
