Typography variables improvements

First of all I want to emphasize that I am very happy with the newly released typography variables! Here’s just a couple of variable related improvements I think would help make working with them a bit easier.

1. Change column width in Variables overview: Currently it’s not possible to drag the columns to change the width, within the variables overview modal. This would be great to allow seeing full variable names as sometimes they are longer than the fixed width of the first column.
2. Scoping for typography variables: Now when I have a Number variable, I can’t scope to to only show when determining typography related values like a line height or font size.
3. Moving a set of variables into a different collection: I’ve currently placed the different levels of variables into 3 collections for the different levels (1. Primitives, 2. Semantic, 3. Component). I want to move them into the same collection so I only have to set one mode per page to apply the right mode (Brand A, Brand B). Now I have to do this per collection (twice, in my case), even though the values are the same (Brand A, Brand B). Alternative could be somehow combining modes with the same name.

Curious if any of these are upcoming/on the radar.
