I know this isn't fatal ;), but it would really really help my YouTube videos right now if I could set Editor Mode as a default, so that all Tables could begin in that mode.

At present I have to create a Table, then right-click to choose editor mode, then resize to something where the Assets/Liabilities/Equity text is readable before I can explain a model. That of course loses viewers, so it has to be either edited out by Jordan's team, or I have to set up all the Tables in a file before I start recording--which reduces the apparent spontaneity of the program.

The edited version implies that this is how Ravel currently works, which is misleading if anyone goes from seeing the video to signing up to Ravel on Patreon. This ticket would mean that this would no longer be misleading.

There are problems with Edit mode itself, which I'll cover in a separate ticket. I hope this one is a minor fix you can do quickly--the only curly bit being defining a different default size for the table from the current, which shoehorns the A-L-E display into a tiny box the size of the original Godley Icon.
