Windows 10: Windows 11 Paint not fullscreen?

Hi, I just got a new surface pro 9, everything is fully updated.On the old paint app, you could double click the “home” tab to hide it- all the brushes, the colors, selection, everything, and then continue drawing in a full screen format.

And if not, who should I contact to suggest this as an update.Furthermore is there any way to return the cut, copy, and paste buttons? I can’t use keyboard shortcuts wh
