Customizable Keyboard/Mouse Shortcuts and Improved Tool Accessibility
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I am writing to share some feedback that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience of your application on Windows.
Customizable Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts:
It would be immensely helpful if users were granted the ability to customize their own keyboard and mouse shortcuts. This personalization would allow for a smoother workflow and could cater to the individual preferences and habits of each user.
Default Cursor Tool:
I have noticed that the app currently requires users to manually select the cursor or image tool to perform basic actions like selecting elements or moving images. For an improved user experience, it would be beneficial to set the Windows cursor as the default tool. This way, users can immediately interact with the elements on their screen without any additional clicks.
Direct Tool Selection via Keyboard:
The current default keyboard shortcuts, such as 'I' for image, 'P' for pen, and 'H' for highlight, are not particularly user-friendly and can disrupt a seamless workflow, especially when working extensively with a keyboard. To address this, I propose the implementation of a more intuitive and efficient system. For example, assigning the numbers 1/2/3/4 to instantly switch between the cursor, pen, erase, highlight, and forms tools would significantly expedite the process and enhance productivity. Additionally, the capability to alter the pen type directly through the assigned pen tool key would add a welcomed layer of convenience and speed.
Improvements to Image/PDF Opening Mechanism:
I have noticed a slight issue with the current mechanism for opening images and PDFs. The app seems to be programmed to open Windows Explorer when the user left-clicks on an empty space, which can lead to unintended interruptions, especially when attempting to move an image and accidentally misclicking. To resolve this, it might be more user-friendly to designate a specific tool for opening images and PDFs, rather than relying on the left-click function in an empty space.
Thanks for taking the time to read my feedback.
