Make Text Tool Sticky
Text tool in GoodNotes 7 is not sticky. After adding text, it always switches back to the lasso tool. This makes it impossible to stay in text mode or to return with Apple Pencil double-tap/squeeze. Please allow the text tool to remain active like pen or eraser.

Completely agree! There should be a customization for which tools we want to stay “sticky” tools. Those are the tools that remain selected instead of going bad to the lasso tool.

Totally agree with this. The new behavior of the text tool seriously slows down workflow — especially for users who type structured notes, forms, templates, or create organized layouts.
In previous versions, keeping the Text Tool active made it feel natural and efficient, just like using a pen or highlighter. Now, having to tap the toolbar after every text box breaks the flow and takes away from the smooth GoodNotes experience we’ve come to love.
Please bring back an option like “Keep Text Tool Selected” or “Make Text Tool Sticky.” Even a simple toggle in the settings would make a huge difference for productivity and consistency.
This might seem small, but for heavy daily users, it’s actually critical for keeping GoodNotes fast and intuitive. 🙏🏻

Also can't keep the size the same because of this, and the set size is really big for some docs.
