GoodNotes is the best note taking app for iPad.

But there is a chunk of the userbase which uses it on their laptops/mac's and use the text feature a lot - both full page writing tool and floating text box alike.

There's a lot to improve and catch up in these features comparing to dominating industry standards of note taking apps writing tools like in Notion for example.

GoodNotes could leverage its handwriting features combined with an improved text writing experience to be even more outstanding in the market of note taking apps.

The improvements include:
1. Introducing easy via keyboard text formatting via writing commands e.g. "/h1
for heading 1 rather than having to click through cmd + or cmd - keyboard
commands in order to get the proper font-weight and size in the full page text
writing tool.
- Keyboard commands: /h1, /h2, /h3, /paragraph, /caption, /bulleted list, /numbered list
- Or introduce Markdown text formatting
2. Fixing the issues with numbered lists
- not being able to create a list with a different beginning number than 1.
3. Introducing merging → into arrows and — into a long dash

The issue could stand in consistency of features between the floating text box and the full page writing tool. The implementations of the commands in the full page writing tool are obvious, but in the floating box this would require some mind storming.

Nevertheless, it would be useful to make writing easier, smoother and more pleasant experience for us laptop users, and some of the iPad users with a keyboard.
