Read only / Edit mode keyboard shortcut
A keyboard shortcut to toggle between read-only and edit modes. (⌘R perhaps?)
For both the Mac and iPad versions
I use a planner with hyperlinks and frequently have to toggle between the two modes, as the hyperlinks are easier to use in Read-only mode

A Keyboard Shortcut is essential, for toggling between "Read-Only" and "Editing" Modes, to increase efficiency and navigability...
TLDR: Not having a Keyboard Shortcut for turning on/off "Read-Only" Mode interferes with the efficiency of using the desktop version of Goodnotes.
My cognitive flow is continually derailed with the need to move from the keyboard to the mouse/trackpad/pen+tablet, when I need to switch from the Editing Mode to Read-Only Mode to click on links...
For example: When using a digital Planner, and needing to jump from a page to the link embedded in the Planner's month's "tab"/icon.
(I currently use Goodnotes 6 on both my iPad and my MacBook Pro)

Really important! I use my iPad on the go, my Mac in my Office and I have to use links all the time. I don't care for fancy new features when basics are missing!

One option that you can use. If you are using an Apple Pencil, you can change the settings in Ipad settings for Apple Pencil to have the tap pencil feature move back and forth between last used. Tap once, it will revert to reading mode, tap again, it will revert back to writing mode.
