  3. The paste keyboard shortcut is not activated(command + V).
    You probably just copy paste the iPad app...

  4. 我希望能夠在iPad橫向放置的時候,能夠一次顯示兩頁的資料。新增這個功能讓我們可以自行選擇及設定。
    這樣在瀏覽樂譜的時候將會方便很多!!!

  5. I really miss the feature that many other pdf viewers (and browsers, eg safari) have, where one presses and holds the scrolling button to move it up/down to a desired page.

  6. We need an option to choose for the text to fit naturally to the lines of templates that have lines to type on. It would be great that when we change the chosen font, it would adapt and still fit in the line.

    It's too troublesome trying to find the right font to fit into the lines, and I still cant find my perfect font and font size to do that.

  7. Hello, I'm using GoodNotes to organize the pdfs for my grad school classes and wanted to make two feature requests:

    1. Please make the character length for document titles longer on Mac and iPadOS. When dealing with multiple documents from the same author in a single folder, it quickly becomes confusing because there is very little room to display the document name. I can understand this limitation on iPhone, but it should not be an issue on a Mac.

    Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/XK11jrX

    1. Would an integration with Zotero (Mac app only, sadly) be possible? Ideally, I'd imagine a workflow where I can use…

  8. where is the ink color selector in the zoom window in GoodNotes 5? :( Zoom window on GN4 was way better then GN5...
    That's why I'm still on GN4.
    It was your strongest point over others app.... Very sad.. not every one want to haver a big iPad that Don fit on a bag, or have resource to have one... In my case, going all up to the screen change the pen color, to make an obs in diferente Collor, it a sux kind of UX.@

  9. I would love it if when using the zoom feature there was a smaller tool bar above the zoom window. It breaks up the flow to have to reach all the way to the other side of the screen to change the pen or color I am using. If it was completely customizable like with the pens, highlighters etc. I choose and able to be moved around the screen that would be great too.

  10. I use GoodNotes a lot to insert pictures of my lectures and make digital notes with pictures and I also use pictures to make digital presentation boards. Every time I insert a new picture, I have to manually adjust the size to match the previous picture that I inserted and it takes a lot of time wasted on unnecessary tasks. I was hoping if your software engineers team could code a feature that would show grids once you are at the exam the same size if the pictures are being placed next to each other on the same page.

  12. When highlighting notes or docs, I have a system based on the color of highlight.
    Example:
    Yellow - todo later
    Orange - look into further
    Green - Note about dev tools
    Blue - Note about software process

    Would love to see all highlights gathered onto one page for quick reference
    Ability to select highlighted entry and link back to source.
    Filter highlighted entries by color.

  13. Since there already is a feature to convert handwritten text.
    It would be very usefully if you could convert the text from pictures of handwritten notes or documents like textbooks to editable text.

  17. I would like to have midpoints and/or axes for shapes. Especially a circle will benefit from this feature. It will make it easier to adjust shapes to each other.
    Currently i need to draw circles in a diagram (imported as page template) and it’s a mess to adjust the circles accurate around the midpoint of this diagram (Smith Chart)

  18. Add wide ruled options for the multi column templates. I love using the multicolumn templates when I'm taking notes but find the line spacing to be to narrow to be practical. I know I can zoom in but this takes away from me seeing the "big picture" (i.e., the other notes on the document) without constantly having to zoom in and out. It should be a relatively simple update, please make this happen!

  19. There are two toolbars unnecessarily. Top toolbar for browsing slides, searching for specific words, undo button and the add page button. Bottom toolbar for writing tools. Top one only uses up the left and right side (with the title taking up a huge amount of space in the middle) and the bottom toolbar only uses the middle so they would merge perfectly if you just moved the title elsewhere, thus giving us the users more space to write/draw on.

  20. Hi, the shapes figure option has a lot of difficulty recognizing hexagones and octogones, and double lines. It would be really nice to be able to draw those shapes for organic chemistry! Thank you so much!
