Noteability does this and it's a great feature. It's difficult to standardise pen colours and line widths without favourites. This feature being absent is a real deal breaker. Also being able to change colours and pen widths afterwards is something that notability does, you need to catch up it's only these features that put you behind the competition notability and noteshelf. Add these and you'll blow the others it of the water!

Could we please get this feature? It's the one thing that keeps me from recommending GoodNotes.

The function keys or F keys are lined across the top of the keyboard and labeled F1 through F12. These keys act as shortcuts, performing certain functions, like saving files, printing data, or refreshing a page. For example, the F1 key is often used as the default help key in many programs.

Waited for years for this, I just switched to Flexcil notes. Works much better and is a lot more convenient. Has a nicer user interface as well IMO.

Enter the combination of keys you want to assign to your new shortcut by pressing them in order. Begin your shortcut with either CTRL, if you're on a Mac, or a Function key.

I’d pay a couple bucks for a floating favourite pens panel like in Notability

After 5 years, this question is still unanswered. GoodNotes 5 team please do something. We are sure you’ll can do it better than the competition.

I need this to be "floating" too

4 years and we still don't have this? Would also be neat if the tools can "float" and may be customized up to 10 or more tools. This feature would allow for a quick switch of annotating tools for people (like me) who uses up to 5 colors of highlighters and 2-3 pens. We can quickly swap colors with a single tap!

Still the biggest feature we lack, notability has it!

This is the biggest feature we lack, notability has it

yes notability has this! makes notetaking infinitely easier!

This seems like an obvious one. I've only had the app 4 days but it's so frustrating and troublesome changing the pencil, color, and size every 20 seconds as I'm writing notes...

Notability added this function! Please Add this in goodnotes as well!

2020 and still we need a " favorite tools " option. Notability added it!

This is an absolute must have.

Looks pretty similar to http://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/20517370-writing-tools-shortcuts

Add another me as another user who wants this feature. Tied to changing pens, colors, thickness all the time. Especially when GN implementation for dark mode makes colors on toolbar useless writing on dark paper - GN doesn't auto invert. Even iOS Notes has this feature. Why can't GN5 have a list of favorite pens?????? So close to switching to a competitor!!!!!!!!

Amazed when looked down the list and this feature has been asked for YEARS

Agree. Has to have a way to anchor 3 favourite pens with color on tool bar. Also please include pencil instead of all pens.

Flexcil (www.flexcil.com) have implemented something neat for favourite pen selection. They have many options we can define and it is extremely time saving to select my favourite option.

Daniel on 12 Sept 2016 has also presented an easy idea with a link of his idea.
Yes, will be an extremely useful feature to add. I liked Flexcil for that.
