  4. Remettre le bouton pour écrire du texte (au lieu de appui prolongé -> commencer à saisir, remettre le bouton qui permet de directement commencer à saisir)
    Ce serait un gain de temps énorme lors de la prise de note en cours, rédaction, etc

  5. Es wäre schön wenn sie es für Tablet Nutzer ermöglichen, wie bei iPads mehrere Fenster öffnen zu können oder eine Autokorrektur für Tabletnutzer zu erstellen.
    Es muss fair bleiben und jeder sollte die gleiche Möglichkeiten haben goodnotes in der Schule zu verwenden

  8. 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…

  9. Der reine Tastaturmodus verschwindet in der Beta. Das ist schade weil die Mischung aus Tippen und schreiben immer sehr gut war. Den kann man drin lassen. Außerdem kann dieser Verbessert werden das er zum Beispiel mehr so ist wie Word

  10. If you like to use the lasso tool to move - let‘s say - only textboxes, then you have to deselect all other categories manually. When you are done moving textboxes, then you want to select every category, then you have to manually turn on everything.

    It would be great, if you can turn on/off all the categories. There should be a box called „all“ on top of all categories.

  11. I have noticed that, on the GoodNotes app for MacBook, I am unable to select or copy text from PDFs, even though the same PDFs allow text selection and copying in other PDF readers. I kindly request that you add this functionality to the GoodNotes app, as it would greatly enhance usability and user experience. Thank you for considering this feature enhancement.

  12. I wish the font menu could stay open as you preview your text or text box in various fonts, and also remember your place in the font list instead of going back to top of the custom fonts menu each time.

    Currently, the process goes as follows: select the box or the text > open the fonts menu > go to custom fonts > choose a font > font menu closes and you see what your text looks like in the selected font.

    Next, reopen the fonts menu > go to custom fonts > scroll back through the custom fonts…

  14. I use different colors and sizes to signify different things in my notes (ex. disease name, symptoms, risk factors, pathological findings...). I would like the option to have more presets in the toolbar rather than having to keep changing the presets because I have used all of the available ones already.

  16. I am a masters student who uses good notes to read and highlight all my articles. I think that adding a reference managing option, to keep all my notes, articles highlights and references will have a lot of value, especially when working on projects such as thesis or dissertation, where there are a lot of articles to read and manage. It will be great to manage my references in the same place

  17. 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,…

  20. Hello Goodnotes team and community,

    I am a regular user of Goodnotes and love the flexibility of the note-taking feature. I would like to propose an important improvement to the Handwriting to Text feature.

    Current Issue:
    Currently, when I convert a piece of handwriting, the resulting text appears in a pop-up dialog. If I need to correct a minor typo or add a period/comma, I have to: block blast

    Copy the corrected text.

    Paste it into the note page.

    Delete the original handwriting.

    This process is very time-consuming and disrupts the flow of notes.
