Enable laser pointer with finger touch
iOS - The laser pointer is a fantastic feature. However, as a teacher, switching between the laser pointer and pen tool constantly is very cumbersome. If the laser pointer was activated by a finger touch, while the pen tool is still selected, this would streamline SO much.

This would be great. At the very least, reinstating the laser pointer with finger whilst Apple Pencil is connected (as in GoodNotes 4) is essential for me. I use the app for teaching drums via zoom and screen sharing. In GoodNotes 4 I can write with the pencil, pick up my sticks and still point to things for the student using my finger on the screen. In GoodNotes 5 I can only use the laser pointer with the pencil which is not viable (having to pick up the pencil every time I want to just point at a scribble). I’ve had to go back to v4 until this is changed.

Please add the laser pointer (in normal/editing mode) in GoodNotes 5. Thanks!

Would be great to have the laser pointer in normal mode. As perfect Apple Pencil feels, it has one big disadvantage -- there is no "hover" state (in contrast with Surface table, and its pen), when you actually don't touch the screen.
This makes explanations much harder when just record iPad screen (without connecting to an external screen).
