  1. When formatting text for example by using underline, bold, cursive, the whole text is being formatted with the last effect being used in the text when changing font size. Please change it so that when changing the text size already formatted words are being saved and not applied to the whole text box.

  2. Goodnotes Dokumente ineinander verlinken, sprich wenn ich im Dokument „siehe Kapitel xy“ schreibe, würde ich gerne dieses Kapitel aus einem anderen Dokument verknüpfen um somit mit einem Klick dorthin zu gelangen.

  5. Currently keyboard shortcut for Element is not enabled. even though it is stated as M upon hovering over the button.

    also an option to not leave element tool after adding an element will be nice. it'll be useful when catching up on the older task during bullet journalling.

  6. Among the basic apps, if you look at Books, there is a scroll that allows you to move quickly along with a horizontal preview.

    However, in good notes5, vertical scrolling is required, but you can move by pressing the scroll button.

    In horizontal scrolling mode, you can only move one page at a time.

    If this is improved when writing in landscape mode, not only vertical scroll users but also horizontal scroll users will be very satisfied.

    Thank you.

  10. When inside a notebook, it would be great to be able to open another notebook/document in a new tab (not a new window), without having to hit the back button and go back to the main list of folders/notebooks/etc

  11. GoodNotes still does not have implemented this great feature that apple introduced with iOS 13. Everywhere I can press long on the scrollbar and just slide it wherever I want. So I can reach the last page of a long book pretty fast. In GoodNotes I still need to scroll page by page until I am at the last page. This is pretty annoying. Even Notability has this feature implemented.
    You can see three photos attached, one while using Goodnotes (no thick scrollbar), one while using Notability (thick scrollbar) and one while using Safari (thick scrollbar).

    Please implement this!

  12. When I complete flashcards, it says there is a time I should come back to review it again. Would be nice to have a notification to remind me on the day.

  13. When I have a note open, I would like to see the tabs at the top in alphabetical order, and sometimes in least-recently-used order.

    Right now, I never understand how they are sorted, but, in any case, they are not sorted in a useful way.

  15. Having to import raster images is a pain - and for some reason even lower res images can make a page become laggy.

  16. Would really appreciate if the flashcard feature becomes much more versatile like anki.
    A few suggestions are
    1. Show number of Flashcard left for the day
    2. Integrate several files to form one Flashcard deck without hampering their current progress
    3. SETTING A NEW CARD LIMIT PER DAY
    4. Customising which cards I would like to see first.

    Basically a lot of anki inspired stuff that could help us replace anki cards with handwritten goodnotes cards. Thanks a lot!

  17. Currently the only way to favourite a document is from the file browser. It would be very handy to be able to favourite from within an already open document.

    Also the star/favourite button on thumbnails is not present in search results.

  18. I set my scrolling direction to "horizontal" and I often flip through many lecture slides for review. I would prefer the transition animations to be disabled when I use a physical keyboard to navigate (with arrow keys). The transitions makes it more tedious to skim through the PDF. It would also be great to have a page count more visible on the main screen (rather than hidden inside a menu).

  19. 給開發者:

    Goodnotes無疑是款好用的筆記app,不用我再寫他的優點、以下提出幾處能夠優化之處,麻煩您:

    打字的顏色:

    打字的顏色無法新增顏色,只能每次都重新挑一次色碼,這點希望盡快改善(但可以直接更新成:打字的顏色盤跟畫筆的顏色盤共用,我相信這點更新並不困難,但是能大幅改善使用體驗,非常重要)

    打字換色的快捷鍵:

    畢竟就在打字了,還要用手來換顏色實在太不盡人意了,因此希望能將顏色盤前九個顏色設定九個快捷鍵(例如cmd + Ctrl +數字)(當然顏色要如上一點所說,能夠和畫筆的顏色盤同步才能自訂)

    文字的行距:

    如同大家所知,方格筆記還是最實用的筆記,但是打字的話很難對齊格子,因此修改行距就變得格外重要,但是當前版本的行距修改完後,下次又變回預設值,無法如同字型及文字大小等設定成預設行距,每次調整真的不是很聰明,而且希望行距能用輸入的。

    跨頁問題:

    希望能將選取物直接拖拉到另一頁,而不用一直剪下貼上。在打字方面,希望能如隔壁陣營(Notability)一樣能在整張紙前面有一排能輸入字元的地方,而不用全部都要用文字框,因為毎打大篇的筆記(例如英文單字),如果是用文字框的話,在其中新增個幾行或刪減個幾行,那文字框就又可能超出頁面顯示範圍,這樣就要把多出來的剪下到下一頁,同理,下一頁又會多出來一些,—直剪貼,非常的不人道,希望能新增這個功能(在文件最前面新增一列能插入字元的位置「如同Word, Notability」)

    這幾點是我目前遇到最大的幾個問題,希望開發者能真實的聽到我們使用者的聲音,為使用者們做優化、調整!!!

    我也是真心喜歡這個軟體,才會花那麼多時間打這篇文章,希望你們能理解然後做出更新,我會繼續支持你們,加油!!!

    !!!期待你們的更新!!!

  20. Wenn ich beispielsweise einen Text auf einer linierten Vorlage per Tastatur eintippe, möchte ich, dass sich die Schriftgröße und der Zeilenabstand automatisch dieser Seitenvorlage anpasst. Ansonsten überlappen sich die Zeichen mit den Linien, wodurch es sehr unleserlich wird. Eine andere erdenkliche Lösung wäre, dass man den Hintergrund in 2 Teile unterteilen kann, um für den Textbereich einen freien Hintergrund zu haben.
    Mein Ziel ist es, per Hand- und per Tastatur geschriebene Texte auf einer Seite zu kombinieren und dabei alles gerade und leserlich zu behalten.
    Wie kann ich das lösen?
    Vielen Dank
