In my study and note-taking workflow, I naturally switch between handwriting and typing. While GoodNotes allows adding a typing block, the current experience feels too simple and not fully integrated with the handwritten document, which makes the transition less practical during real study sessions.

A more natural interaction could greatly improve this experience: writing with the Apple Pencil would continue to produce handwriting anywhere on the page, while tapping the screen with a finger would instantly open the keyboard and allow typing directly at that location—without manually switching tools or modes.

This fluid “pen writes, finger types” interaction would remove friction, better reflect real learning behavior, and transform GoodNotes into a truly seamless hybrid note-taking environment. Such an intuitive workflow could become a meaningful differentiator for students and heavy note-takers who rely on both structured text and freehand thinking in the same document.
