  2. Match shortcuts with keys as in a computer. Moreover, when you go to the next page with the keyboard, the page advances but not the page counter and you cannot bookmark that page correctly, for example.

  4. The current drag & drop feature copies notes as a PDF file. (http://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/19716046-export-individual-pages-using-drag-and-drop-mac-a)
    However, It's sometimes desirable (and easier to view) if I copy them as images (to email app, iMessage, other note-taking app like Bear, etc.). I wish there is an option to select images over PDF.

  5. Currently, when I use the text feature with a ruled background, the texts will overlap the lines of the background. It will be perfect if we can adjust the spacing such that the text can fit perfectly between the space.

    I would like to add if possible that the shape tool can be enhanced to recognise the shapes better. Occasionally the shape tool will correct my input into a warped shape.

  6. It would be awesome to have a RSVP reader that allowed selecting sections of text to speed-read! For example like https://www.spritz.com/

  10. I use different brush, color and size in different documents. When opening a document, I spend time resetting my style.

    Also (or alternatively) allow saving presets (combo box with up to 3 or 10 presets).

  11. Could Goodnotes 5 allow export to PDF or image without the template background? Whenever I select export without background, it remove all my inserted or imported picture/pdf.

    I would like to export without template background for printing, because it is waste of ink.

    Also, can we export selected pages too ?
    Can Goodnotes auto convert the light colour ink in dark mode to dark ink when exporting without background? (like Notes App in iOS13)

  12. Hallo :)

    ich fände es schön, wenn man den Seitenhintergrund von mehreren Seiten gleichzeitig wechseln kann, da dies handisch sehr mühsam ist und bei mehr als 20 Seiten super lange dauert! z.B wenn man ein neues Seitenformat benötigt.

    Außerdem wäre es cool, wenn man kleine Tabellen einfügen kann.

    Freundlich Grüße

  13. Add a way to swap white text with black text when exporting a dark background notebook. That way it can be printed.

  15. It would be helpful if when vertically scrolling through documents it does not move side to side. This is very frustrating when trying to review and highlight numerous documents.

    This usually happens when there is at least one page in the document that either has a different orientation (landscape) or is larger than the pages you’re currently looking at. Please try locating this page and remove it if possible to avoid the problem. We’ll see what we can do to handle page scrolling better in cases like this.

  16. Sometimes when I lasso some text and then deselect, I
    ALL THE SELECTED TEXT DISAPPEARS.

    undo/redo doesn't do anything. Sometimes the text reappears after a few minutes of writing, sometimes its just gone forever. Very frustrating, has been happing for a few months now.

  18. Please see attached:

    In this screen - it would be wonderful if you could rearrange the order of your files, just by dragging them. It would greatly improve workflow speed and file management.

    Many thanks,

  19. I keep waiting for someone to replicate the Newton MessagePad. You’re getting there, but here are some things I would love you to add:
    - treat handwritten text more like a word processor treats type. I should be able to select streams of words just as I would in a word processor by dragging across the line or block with an i-bar pointer, and then cut, copy, delete. And do wrapping like a word processor too.
    - Have the option for having those blocks of handwritten text in a basic outliner, with drag and drop of points, indenting and outdenting,…

  20. so that we can use two options-one like prior goodnotes 4, less useing upper space, but little pen options made up of those we use oftern. The other the tool bar just like nowadays.

    The bug I think is abut device storage. When I write on my document(automatic backup in ondrive on, no icloud) and check available ipad storage in file app, from 300MB to 1 GB of available storage decreases and this storage does not return. The size of the document is 8MB. This happens only after using goodnotes in my device.(I haven't checked in other devices yet) This…
