Navigate with one finger when using Apple Pencil to write

Since the app can tell which inputs are from the Apple Pencil and which are from your hands, why not allow navigation with one finger(instead of two) while using the Apple Pencil to write? It'll be much more intuitive and efficient.

    This must be implemented. Perhaps there may be an option in settings for those who prefer two finger scrolling.

    Also, one finger scrolling will make the eraser erase only with Apple Pencil when it is connected, not with any finger. This will prevent unintended erasing by fingers, which occurs very often when one uses Apple Pencil.

    This is a must. When you are reading & annotating a pdf with Apple Pencil, turning page with one finger is the natural option. 2 fingers is unnatural.

    Yes. One finger scroll would be quite welcome when using the apple pencil. Notability has this feature as well. One finger is more natural of a gesture. With similar apps I expect two-finger gestures to be related to zoom and rotate.

    This of course should only be the case when using the Apple Pencil with its wonderful finger/palm rejection features.

    Horrible idea! Scroll with one finger is not good. It leads to significant, unintended movement of the document with palm and other touches.

    Forcing scroll with only two fingers is a huge plus for GoodNotes and allows the document to be rock solid and avoids unintended movement - becomes more like real paper writing experience and better than the rest!

    Please do not take away this key advantage!

    Respectfully disagree.

    Couldn't agree more. Please make this feature also available to other styli that support palm recognition such as Adonit Jot Script.

    Notability and Onenote have it already so it should be possible to implement.

  • Pierre-Alexandre Losson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Completely agree. I would love to be able to "flip" to the next/previous page my folding the bottom corner just like in iBooks with one finger.

  • David Sanders commented  ·   ·  Report

    This could be a good idea but I could also see it making palm rejection more complicated. If inclusion of this kind of feature had any impact on palm rejection whatsoever, I'd be against it.

    GoodNotes does a great job separating Pencil and finger input. I would like to use only one finger for navigation when using the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil
