Goodnotes should add a native option that lets the Apple Pencil Pro double tap switch between specific tools like pen and shape with no menu steps, no delays, and no forced use of Apple’s default actions. The app should give users a simple tool toggle setting inside the Apple Pencil menu, where you pick two tools and the double tap flips between them. The app should also expose these tool switches as actions in the Shortcuts app so users can build custom automations. Adding this feature would make Goodnotes feel more fluid during fast sessions and would use the Apple Pencil Pro sensors in a practical way that saves time.

This idea came to mind because I use the pen tool and the shapes tool the most. On keyboards, you can type “w” to go to the pen tools and “S” for shapes. Goodnotes should make it possible - through the shortcuts app to have the double click jump to one of these tools (no matter what), or even better - toggle between the two. Not just with the last tool you used because it normal is the eraser or lasso tool. If it is available in the shortcuts app, then you can assign the long press or double tap to a shortcut that can be used in Goodnotes.

Happy to explain more if wanted.
