I am a user of GoodNotes on a Microsoft Surface Studio (Windows version) . When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without manually resizing each time.

Why it’s important:

Saves time and friction: each time I start a new text box, I currently have to resize it manually.

Provides a consistent look and layout across notes, especially when writing longer paragraphs.

Makes Windows version closer in functionality to what iPad version has, enhancing cross-platform consistency.

Suggestions for implementation:

Option in settings: “New Text Box Default Width → Full Width / Custom / Last Size used”

Or when opening a new note, automatically create a full-width textbox if “typing mode” is selected.

Or long-press or modifier (e.g. shift-click) with Text Tool to start a full-width box.
