Basic keyboard shortcuts for closing tabs, creating new files/folders, etc.
I would like to see some basic keyboard shortcuts implemented, examples are in the title. Most annoyingly Cmd + W doesn't close a tab but rather exits the document and leaves it open.
Below are some suggestions for shortcuts (shortcuts marked with '*' can be considered extra):
Window/Tab management:
- Cmd + W: closes the current tab
- *Cmd + Opt + W: closes all tabs
- Cmd + Shift + Esc: exits document view
- Cmd + Opt + Left/Right: Go to previous/next tabFile management:
- Cmd + Opt + N: Creates new File
- Cmd + Opt…1 voteAdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

Full support for keyboard navigation using Tab and Shift+Tab on MacOS
I use keyboard shortcuts quite extensively and would like to see some better support on keyboard navigation, especially in the documents view. So opening, renaming, etc. files can be done without a mouse/trackpad. Maybe implement a toggle for this option, so regular users are not affected by default.

Easier Text Coloring in Txt-Doc.
In a Txt-Doc there should be more tools in the toolbar for important actions like setting the background color of selected Text to a color by just clicking on the color symbol.

margins
Please make the templates editable. For example I like a margin but I find it's too wide. I'd like the templates to be editable such that you can have a smaller or larger margin as needed.

Sim links in file explorer
Have the ability to create simlinks to documents in other folders. Due to the number of folder I have, I occasionally want to have access to note in two separate folders. The only way to do this now is to make a copy which takes up double the space and doesn’t sync any hand written notes on the page.

Align and space shapes
Love the new shapes tool but it would very useful if shapes (or in a broader sense also all other objects like images, text, stickers, etc.) could be aligned and spaced out evenly to make notes look more professional.
Also the option to eg. center elements on the page via an x/y axis. There could be an option to turn automatic snapping/ guidelines on or off.
It is very difficult to eyeball objects to be consistently spaced and aligned and often results in pages not looking consistent.

Flashcard Improvement Suggestion
Enable the full toolbar on flashcards
Allow users to use the same tools as on regular pages: highlighting in color, underlining, bold text, and free writing/drawing. This would make it much easier to emphasize important content and quickly add notes or markings.Support combined text and images on a single flashcard
Make it possible to place both images and text together on one flashcard for better visual learning and more flexible study methods.Detect and indicate duplicate flashcards:
Show a clear warning or indicator when a flashcard is created twice, to avoid unnecessary duplicates and keep decks organized.

rotate and resize text with two fingers
When I am using the lasso tool I would like to rotate the handwritten text with my fingers or pencil and resize it as well but it seems very restricted at the moment. When I use two fingers it duplicates which there is no need for as there is a copy and paste function and the only way to rotate is the box icon which is very restricted and not free as in like free motion.

Number notebooks automatically/ Index
The option to add page numbers to the notebook in a selected font/size and to also add an Index/ Table of Contents that shows up within the document. Similar to how it is in word or other word processing Programs, just a bit simplified.
Basically the option to add the "outline" as a "table of contents page" within the note book and to show numbers on each page correspondingly.

Text Doc Improvements
Love the new text doc feature, but it needs improvements.
Option to hyperlink to Text Docs. Right now it is greyed out when trying to link to them. Very inconvenient. It should have the option to link to the entire document and also Headings/ Subheadings within it.
Option to use drawing tools within the text doc.
More exporting features. Especially exporting as word document or actual text document. This is super important when trying to share editable writing with someone who doesn't use goodnotes.
WORD COUNT. Please, as a writer having a word count is super important. I would also…

Import PDF as a study set
There are multiple ways of doing this:
(A) Chop each page in half: top half becomes the ‘image’ for question, bottom half becomes the ‘image’ for answer.
(B) Two pages per flashcard, one for question and one for answer (maybe do this if pdf is in landscape mode).This would be immensely helpful as currently you can only import text, which is an issue if your flash cards have diagrams or render LaTeX.

Request to Add a Feature for Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Request to Add a Feature for Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Currently, there is a feature that allows regular documents to be converted into whiteboard documents, but there is no option to convert them into text documents. I believe it would be very helpful to add a feature that allows regular documents to be converted directly into text documents.
For example, when working with scanned documents, some characters are not always correctly recognized by OCR. In such cases, it becomes difficult to search the content or effectively use AI features. If users could convert a regular document into a…

Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
When converting a regular document to a whiteboard, the page limit is currently restricted to about 20–25 pages. However, these days many lecture materials exceed 100 pages, and in some cases—especially for law-related subjects—they can easily go beyond 300 pages. I strongly suggest increasing this page limit.
In addition, when a document is converted to a whiteboard, the content is currently transferred only as images. It would be much more useful if text recognition (OCR) were also applied during the conversion process, allowing the text to be selectable and…

Lock for AI or Math Assist Function possibly even spell check
Those that use the standard versions of Goodnotes for growing minds/education need locks/parent control features. More recently Goodnotes added Ai and math assist which while I could see the benefits of these features, without having locks or parental controls added the student/child would always have the answer at their fingertips. Never having to learn to do math problems, Spelling, ect. on their own. With Locks/pin required for special features it would giver the owner the ability to use as needed.

MIDI support
I'm using Goodnotes on iPad mainly on stage as a guitarist. As I'm not using real sheet music but have my own note-taking scheme, Goodnotes is the perfect tool for me. On stage I'm also using a bluetooth foot-switch (Boss FS1-WL) which is sending HID commands such as "Right arrow" to turn the next page in Goodnotes and it's working well.
However I have the need to select the next "Performance" on my Amp-Modeler (this can be any MIDI device) at the same time. As the Foot-switch is only able to either being in HID- OR MIDI-mode, this is not…1 vote -

Additionally, when using Shape Mode or the shape drawing tools, we hope that after completing a shape, the tool will not automatically switch back to the Lasso tool.
The current behavior requires users to repeatedly switch tools, which significantly interrupts workflow and reduces efficiency.Furthermore, we hope that in Read-Only Mode or Laser Pointer Mode, users can still interact with tape elements, including tapping to show or hide content. This would allow greater flexibility during presentations or review scenarios without forcing users to exit the current mode.
We also hope the software can better support the Apple Pencil Pro hover…

we hope to introduce a dedicated pen tool for taking screenshots.
Currently, the screenshot process is cumbersome, as users must manually crop the image after each capture, which is inefficient.We suggest adding a screenshot pen that allows users to directly draw a selection box around the desired area. Once the area is selected, the system would immediately capture that region, eliminating the need for additional cropping steps and significantly improving usability and efficiency.

We hope that the button used to return to the desktop, as well as the button for selecting files from the desktop, can be made repositionable.
This would help address the issue on iPad where, in Split View mode, these buttons are obstructed by the window control buttons, preventing users from returning to the desktop while using split-screen mode.

Feature Request: Collapsible Sidebar Navigation for Quick Document Switching (Like OneNote)
Dear GoodNotes Team,
I am an academic researcher who relies heavily on GoodNotes for managing extensive libraries of notes, e-textbooks, and research data.
I would like to propose a specific workflow improvement that combines the best of OneNote’s navigation with GoodNotes’ tab system.
The Concept: I suggest adding a collapsible sidebar (File Tree) on the left while in editing mode. However, the interaction should work specifically as follows:
Sidebar Visibility: While editing a note (e.g., "Biochemistry"), I can toggle open a left sidebar that shows my entire folder/file structure (similar to OneNote).
Action: When I click on a different file…
