Option to disable tap gestures to undo/redo on iPad app

Hello! With the addition of the new gestures (double tap with 2 fingers to undo, double tap with 3 fingers to redo), I keep accidentally activating the "undo" gesture when my hand is just resting on the screen while I'm writing, which is frustrating when I'm trying to keep up with quick notetaking. Is there any way to add an option to disable the tap gestures? Thank you so much!

(For reference I have an iPad 6th with Apple Pencil 1st Gen)

    Has anyone found a solution for this yet ? It’s driving me mad !

  • Greta Milano commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please, it's too frustrating. With every app update, I hope it has been removed. I can't take it anymore.

  • Nathan commented  ·   ·  Report

    yeah worst part is sometimes you don't notice that you did an undo in a previous page, and up erasing important parts of your notes such as an exponant in an equation you need to memorise. (Happened to me a couple of times, luckily I always cross refernce my notes with the reference material)

    I am teacher and regulary undoing things, while showing my goodnotes app via projector. How can I disable this feature? Please help.

  • VS commented  ·   ·  Report

    I keep accidentally undoing. Please add an option to disable it.

  • Elizabeth Marquis commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am interacting with my computer and making GoodNotes on my iPad. Every time I put my iPad down, I get the undo message. It is driving me crazy. Please allow us to turn off this feature.

    This would be the most important addition to the app for me - it's wasting me so much time and genuinely the only thing I hate about GN! Why is it taking this long to add a disabled button, please?!

  • Marta Búa Fernández commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've lost so much written text because of this damned feature I really hate it. Please add a disable option for this!

    The problem is that sometimes you don't know you have activated "redo" and you don't know where.

  • IGNACIO RIVAS GRANDE commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is sooooo annoying! Just disable this disastrous feature as quick as possible. It is driving me mad.

  • Bennie Bodik commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please please add a disable option as it is extremely helpful at times, however when using my pencil many times I don't intend to undo it but it accidentally happens as I rest my hand while writing. PLEASE PLEASE ADD A DISABLE OPTION

    For the longest time I thought my new M1 ipad was broken. Finally found the culprit... Please remove this function. Or only allow it on finger drawing mode. If you have an apple pencil this is utterly useless.

  • Prem Kumar commented  ·   ·  Report

    give an option to disable this broken feature.

  • Paulo Caldas commented  ·   ·  Report

    DISABLE this feature, please. Its undoing a lot of things when I put my hand over the screen.
