  2. It would be great to use the side buttons on a mouse (e.g., MX mouse) as a back and forward button (similar functionality in browsers).

  4. I am talking about the GoodNotes version for macOS.
    On Mac, you can use the shortcut cmd + shift + 4 to take a screenshot of a selected area. However, this also changes the scrolling mechanism from scrolling through a document to zooming in or out of a document.

    I hope there is no existing post on this topic yet.

  5. It would be nice to type and edit math expressions in the notes from MacOS Goodnotes. The same should apply to desktop/web versions.

    There are text editors out there that allow me to enter MathJax text between $ (dollar) signs that is rendered into the math formulae.

    It would be very handy if we could do the same from Goodnote Desktop/Web versions. (Math conversion from handwritten text is great, but it is not always the fastest way to enter complicated formulae.)

  6. It would be better if there would be an option to have a one or two-page screen (especially for us visual learners). Also, a side tab line which scrolls you throughout the pages in the screen. This feature would be a great help to easily see photographically the pages of the notes/pdfs just like in actual setting.

  7. My huge love for Goodnotes for a long time but guess sometimes we need the option for temporarily deleting some documents from offline even retaining same documents in online (iCloud or Google Drive) due to low storage iPads/iPhones.

    It would be wonderful if we could get "Make available offline" (also "unavailable offline") function like the attached screenshot (and this is Google Drive folder in Mac OS's Finder).

  9. Often, I want to write on one page or section of a document while viewing the same document in another window. Or I want to open my two-page guitar score (in one document) in two separate windows to have the score fitted perfectly on the screen of my iPad in landscape mode.
    Currently, I have to open another GoodNotes window and find the document, which can often take a while. It would be so much more efficient if I could just open the same document in a new window directly via a new button.

  10. When underlining, if it were aligned with the text automatically, it would be more comfortable, since sometimes it is above or below and you have to adjust it manually.

    1. In früheren Goodnotesversionen gab es beim Präsentationsmodus die Möglichkeit beim „Seitenausschnitt spiegeln“ in einen Ausschnitt hineinzuzoomen und diesen dann für das Publium zu fixieren. So, dass man selbst noch weiterhineinzoomen konnte oder währenddessen an anderer Stelle was schreiben konnte. Projiziert wurde jedoch nur der aktuell festgelegte Ausschnitt. Also kein freeze, denn was im festgelegten Ausschnitt geschrieben wird, wird übertragen.

    2. Übernahme ausgewählter Tools in die Leiste der Lupenfunktion. Zum Beispiel Radiergummi, Stiftfarben,…

  17. Why not to add zoom in/out shortcuts to the desktop app? Same for mouse wheel zoom. The only option to zoom in/out on desktop app for Mac (my experience) is through menu (View/Zoom in(out)), if you do not use trackpad. Very inconvenient.

  18. IPad Pro12.9 5 generation (ipad os 17.5.1)
    goodnotes5 (version 6.3.33)

    After setting the iPad dark mode, the keypad should appear as a black screen, but the white screen appears shiny.
