One issue I frequently run into if I am trying to move quickly through data entry in Fibery is using Paste (e.g. copied from an email) and accidentally pasting into the wrong field. My habit/muscle memory is to immediately Ctrl-Z to undo what I just did. Unfortunately pasted text, and indeed _any_ text changes within a field, are not handled by the current Undo system. But they _are_ handled by many other systems, and so I am used to being able to do this.

Worse, the Undo action will actually remove text from _other_ fields that I’ve already edited. And since there is no “Redo” for Field contents, I often lose data I have entered. I have a separate feature request for “redo” [Implement “Redo” (Ctrl-Y) in field entry](https://community.fibery.io/t/implement-redo-ctrl-y-in-field-entry/1063) 😃

So basically, please implement in-field Undo, especially for paste actions. And I would also consider restricting Undo to the currently active field. When no field is selected, it could undo _any_ data entry, but in many other systems I believe undo is restricted to current field selection, and this helps minimize accidental data loss.

And @Oshyan support this just the same!

Very similar to @Haslien flagging this up the other day:

> [@\[✔️FIXED\] Two weird search dialogue keyboard behaviours](https://community.fibery.io/t/two-weird-search-dialogue-keyboard-behaviours/1046/2):

> Hey @Haslien yes great! I have noticed this too and it impedes some of what @Oshyan just brought up here in clarifying that you can almost ( my take on it ) create inline like in Roam/Notion, without leaving the keyboard: I have found myself hitting “tab” everytime I’m In that dialogue hoping to move around over to that logo of “create” that shows with the “return” Icon: Thanks for bring this up and perhaps we can solve this with a bit more of the keybo…

And, similar to your point here:

> [@\[FIXED\] Narrow texts in entity search pop-up make correct selection difficult](https://community.fibery.io/t/narrow-texts-in-entity-search-pop-up-make-correct-selection-difficult/1051):
>
> I am finding it increasingly difficult to select the right entities in the search pop-up from hashtag shortcut since my entity names are often long. Obviously I could change how I name entities, but this seems needlessly restrictive. The pop-up would ideally be wider, though obviously this needs to be balanced against not covering too much of the screen and existing text. Here is an example of where it’s an issue: The full title of the entity I want to link t…

Would love to see general “wrapping” of text anywhere and everywhere. One thing I love in Fibery - the customization of boards’ card size. But when they get too small, you lose the text. I read this great article lately about how a team used TargetProcess:

There is this great board in there I was so anxious to recreate in Fibery once [Details around Rows and Columns](https://community.fibery.io/t/expanded-detail-of-column-and-row-entities/777) came out:

And then not much later it came out!

So with that feature, this board was theoretically doable.

But sadly, I can’t because the text in the cards when I use “compact” or “line” to recreate is cut off…it’s actually unusable because you can’t read most of what is in my cards because the fit maybe 4 words at most…you can see that in a lot of these in the image…

Sorry to go off topic but I thought that might interest you!

Cheers!
