Ability to select text on mac desktop application

I need to be able to select text on my mac desktop goodnotes application.

My workflow:

I'm writing many papers for school, and do all my research on my mac, downloading pdfs. I then upload all the research articles on my goodnotes 5 for mac application, after which i use the ipad goodnotes 5 application to read, annotate and highlight the papers.

Examples of copying text from the mac application:
* When i'm writing my paper, I sometimes have to manually enter the reference into Word. I have to do this by hand and can't copy and paste.
* When i'm writing my paper, I often have to find references cited in the current article. It would be so helpful to just copy and paste the DOI into a google search.

Also selecting text on the goodnotes mac application would allow an easy way for me to highlight it in one step.

Thanks!

    can i change the color of the highlighting in the 'off-editing' mode?

    It seems that turning off editing and copying a snippet does not work sometimes depending on how you select a snippet. One day, it did not work first so I tried to select 2-3 characters more behind the snippet although I did not need those characters. Then, it worked for the copy and paste. It would be good this improves.

    WHY ISN'T this a thing!!! can't believe the desktop app does not support this.

    should absolutely have the ability to copy and past text from a PDF

    Have you heard anything about this? I use GoodNotes A LOT and this is one of the things that makes GoodNotes for Mac not as efficient to use.
