  3. Add more theme colors for the borders. When you open up a notebook, the top color is only blue with no option to change it, it would be nice if we could change the color of that to makes things looks a little bit nicer.

  5. Hello:

    I would really appreciate it if you could allow the users to add a watermark or put a lock in pdfs, because I'm a teacher and i grade all my student's assignments on GooNotes.

    I can add a logo image or a draw and put it as a watermark but it' would save me a lot of time if i could edit the position and/or transparency of certain objects and images, because i have a ton of documents to grade.

    Thank you for your attention.

  7. Sketchbook Pro has some of the best rulers out there and I would love for those rulers to also be implemented on GoodNotes.

  8. It would be super helpful to be able to tag files/folders by color. Sometimes I have a bunch of folders (or files) but I mainly use a few of them. It would be helpful to be able to add highlights/colors to these to find them easier. Similar to in Finder in macs (see screenshot)

  9. It would be awesome to be able to control Goodnotes on the Mac using VIM style keyboard bindings.
    Not all VIM functionality has to be included, but some essential keyboard bindings that many people are already used to would create an awesome user experience for vim users.
    Examples:
    j / k to scroll down/up (and h/l for left/right)
    ctrl-d /ctrl-u for page down/page up
    / for searching
    gg to go to the top of the document
    G to go to the bottom of the document
    :4 to go to page 4
    and so on.

  10. Please fix “keyboard shorcuts” while in text mode. Goodnotes for some weird reason only makes you select a letter to switch between tools instead of “ command and the letter. So when trying to type on a external keyboard i cant type a P,E,H,S,L,I,C,or T with out it completely switching tools and existing out of typing mode. I feel like this is pretty big oversite and is unfortunately the only reason i have to us notability over good notes when typing at times. I can understand if this is a mac feature but as far as an ipad goes its…

  12. Just saw your experimental feature of learning with flashcards. What I would wish as an improvement is having the flashcard page (Question/Answer) on the right side of an page, when creating it. Moreover I want it not to appear underneath the scroll direction reading through my normal script. I want to see it maybe indicating that it exist by seeing a small border of it on the right side. Check my sketch in the attachment.

  13. the line spacing drag bar under paragraph, is really difficult to get the spacing right. if we could have that... and/or be able to type in the number we need for spacing. that would greatly help. I'm constantly messing with it and when I let go it jumps to another number. >.<

  15. Serious flaws

    The text box never aligns with the horizontal line provided by the "single column" template

    This will seriously affect the neatness and aesthetics of keyboard input

    I hope developers can improve this as soon as possible

    This is really important!

  17. I would like to write till the end of the last line on a page but auto-advance doesn't suggest that so I'll have to manually keep dragging the window or move it. It would be better if it suggests a new page when the last line is also complete.

  19. I use GoodNotes screenshot-feature on a daily basis to create drawings for my exercises & summaries for uni and it would be very useful if I could export into SVG -> better quality while maintaining a small footprint.

    This should illustrate my idea:

  20. Use case: I use a "scratch pad" note for general note taking (meetings, phone calls, random thoughts throughout the day), since I find that quicker and easier than creating (and naming) new notes for every little occurrence.

    Sometimes the notes are useful and I need to "file" them away for future reference. Currently what I do is copy the range of pages I want, navigate away from the first note, create a new note, and paste in the pages.
    That definitely works, but the navigating around part makes for a bit of a clunky process.

    I think an "Export as…
