 * Hi
 * I am using WordPress 5.4 (don’t know what version of Gutenberg is included), 
   the question is:
 * **Why the code editor window is so narrow, only 580 px ?**
 * It only uses about one third of my screen, cannot be made wider ?
    The normal
   Gutenberg editor uses 1160 px.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@caban13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caban13/)!
 * The editor is that dimension so as to not be so different in dimensions from 
   the default editor style which is loaded when a theme does not change the styles.
 * However as more and more themes style the editor, this limitation does not seem
   that helpful anymore. Feel free to open an issue in [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues)
   where you describe how you’d like the code editor to look/behave. Keep in mind
   that on GIANT screens, you _could_ end up with a very very wide input field if
   it’s completely unconstrained. You can CC me in github if you like, I’m @jasmussen
   there.
