Improve the code block in arcgis pro geoprocessing toolboxes

The code block section in (model builder) geoprocessing tools need several improvements:

ability to enlarge the block so that you have more room and see longer bits of code
Consistent code block format in all tools. Some tools have a big box, others a small one.
When writing python, it needs better syntax feedback if tab indentations are used instead of 4 spaces.
Even better, it should be able to use tabs indentation instead of 4 spaces. Or, When pressing enter within a function , 4 spaces should be given and not a tab. Now you need to manually adjust the indentation tabs into spaces. No clear syntax error feedback is privided if tabs are userd instead of spaces.
Improve syntax error handling by providing interactive feedback if functions or variables are not recognised.

I refer to the code block in the ‘calculate fields (multiple)’ tool. I know other tools have a larger code block section, hence my second suggestion to uniform the code block sections across all tools.
