(thinking…)

Add an eraser button in the zoom window toolbar

While its only a minor inconvenience, when I'm taking notes in a class where the professor really likes to speed along, having to go to the top of the screen to select the eraser, then back to select the pen, I can quickly fall behind what the prof is saying.

    This is missing from Goodnotes 5 and it's really inconvenient. The tap gesture is a stopgap at best. I've seen suggestions to scribble over text to delete and this would help a lot. But the options on the toolbar were awesome, please bring them back if you can.

    This idea was “un-completed” in GoodNotes 5. Can we have the status reset and get this feature restored? Thanks!

    Maybe make it so one hand can easily switch to eraser and back while the other is writing

    This would be a very welcome addition to an already excellent app.

    This would be of huge benefit. To get to the eraser you have to lift your hand, go all the way to the top, and hit a very small target. There seems to be sufficient room in the zoom toolbar for this, so my hope is that this simple affordance could be added easily.

    Yes! This would make the zoom box so much more useable! Having to reach for the top of the screen is disruptive when taking notes fast and inconsistent with the placement of the choice of colors in the zoom box toolbar.

    To choose the eraser, we need to move our arm up but to go back to writing, we can just go to the toolbar. Please add this feature - quite easy to do so, I presume.

    Too bad I've used all my votes, I fully agree that would greatly improve operation with the zoom (which I use most of the time)

    Having access to all of the tools in the zoom box would be amazing.
