  2. Please provide a line spacing adjustment bar in the templates sections... like I can adjust the line spacing in the squared and lined templates.. or add more options with varied line spacing like there is in lined tempelate .. like ruled narrow ruled wide. . Similarly add more tempelate for each but it is better if a custom line spacing bar is given for each tempelate so that I can adjust it myself

  3. Bring back the ability to:

    Place an element that was saved from a text box
    Edit the text box
    Save it as a new element

    This feature was available in GN5. Please bring it back. It makes it easy to expand my text box based element library.

  4. When writing a cross a solid thick line , some separation between the handwriting and the thick line is needed so for example the white outline around a dark letter will visually separate the handwriting from a line behind it. Outlined handwriting does not seem to be supported as of now.

  5. There used to be 2 options to Type on a page, the Text Box and the whole screen text field. It used to be so easy to acces the whole page typing mode, and to edit it later on, which it now isnt. Having one button to get back to the feature would save so much time and ones work flow, because the way you access it right now is really inconvenient. Same thing goes for the text box - this little widget with options to edit the text font etc. is always in the middle of the screen covering…

  6. An option to manually set the rotation of fountain pen tip. When you turn off the recognize pen rotation option, which is a nice feature, it sets in an oblique angle. It would be nice to be able to manually rotate the pen tip and set it whichever angle you want it.

  7. Allow text boxes to move from page to page without lasso tool. Since the text box is already a moveable item it would be nice to be able to move it from page to page without it disappearing. The lasso seems like an unnecessary extra step

  8. Please add an option to set custom font presets for handwriting-to-text conversion. When I convert handwritten notes, the text always switches to the default font, and I have to reformat everything manually. Being able to choose and save presets (e.g., Noteworthy Bold for headings and Noteworthy Light for body text) would save a lot of time and make notes much cleaner instantly.

  14. Please create gestures for SHIFT, TAB, RETURN and CAPS LOCK for Apple Pencil in Scribble mode when using textbox.

    If one is trying to keep notes neat by using textbox instead of pen, this system becomes very clunky. If you want to abbreviate, make a list or write notes in an organized fashion on the fly, like in class lectures for instance, you have to use Apple Pencil with assistance from either an external hardware keyboard or the touch screen keyboard. It slows everything down. I sometimes miss valuable information fiddling around with these keyboards.

    I’ve tried using handwriting conversion…

  16. Hello, I recently upgraded to GoodNotes 6 and encountered several usability regressions that are severely impacting my workflow. I would like to request clarification and support regarding the issues below.

    Issues
    1. The Text Box tool automatically switches back to the Lasso tool after one use.
    When inserting multiple text boxes consecutively, I must manually reselect the Text Box tool every time. This significantly disrupts productivity.
    2. Bulk font editing using the Lasso tool is no longer available.
    In previous versions, selecting multiple text items and changing their font at once was possible. This feature was essential for efficient editing,…

  17. I love the possibility for bulleted and numbered lists, but would love more options like stars or smaller dots or squares. just more customisation in the text documents. like being able to change background colour maybe.

  18. Eigene Schriftarten sollten wieder als Stanard festlegbar sein & andere Schriftarten schneller erreichbar sein, damit man zwischen diesen schnell hin und her springen kann. So wie es eben vorher war.

  19. Please re-enable macOS inline suggestions (math auto-calculation when typing 1+1=). This feature works in all native macOS apps and greatly improves typing. it would be extremely helpful to add a macOS-native text mode or option to re-enable inline suggestions
