  4. Every time I copy or do screen capture, it takes me 3 steps from different buttons to copy the picture, so my hand needs to move up, top right for copying.... can streamline for copying process?

    Also, every time I change color, I need to move my pen from left to right for selecting different color, is it possible to allocate the changing color just under "pen" button? So my hand can move less for that action?

  5. I am a new user I really enjoy this app but there are some features that will be handy for all for us users of Goodnotes 5. Starting with a setting of margins for the templates ( I print my notes to put them on a binder and some of my notes gets cut of with the hole puncher), a ruler (this will be super handy, I know I can use the shape tool but there's people that work with measurements)

  8. It would be really cool if you combineed your handwriting recognition with your typing tool. Do stuff like intending lines of handwritten notes, or left justifying your handwritten notes after the fact. (I know you can use the lasso, but sometimes it gets tedious)

  9. I love the new perfect shape feature. However as a maths student I mosty want to use it to make straight lines for fractions or square roots and I feel like you need to hold down the stroke for too long before it is straightened. I disrupts my writing flow and I feel like allowing users to set the delay (50% faster or slower maybe) would improve the app while keeping it simple enough to use. (the option could be hidden in a menu)

  10. In den Textfeldern funktioniert schon das Thema, mit der Tabulatortaste der Tastatur den Text zu verschieben. Nur leider begrenzt. Nur über 5 kleine Schritte, dann springt der Text bereits eine Spalte tiefer und rechts wäre noch soviel Platz frei...

  12. I want to make my hand-notes from work more searchable and actionable.

    I was thinking of tagging and defining elements: e.g. add in current date/time (press on a handwritten date and tag it OR add in current date) to search it later. Additionally, I can imagine tasks tags, questions tags which then are searchable in a separate list/table etc.

  13. Adding a measuring tool built into the text rotation box specifying the exact angle you rotate the text. Noteshelf 2 just introduced this.

  16. It would be wonderful for view only links of documents. As a teacher teaching during distance learning, I would like to post notes that I’ve written without giving the students the ability to edit it.

  17. I Struggle a lot with my handwriting and while it’s still legible it’s not always astethic so I would greatly appreciate a feature in which as you write it gets converted to text as you go (you can switch this off in your settings). The most important part is to change the text font, I would love fonts made to look like still handwritten notes. I would also love to be able to change the text font and even download font that many people have put up that looks like writing. This would allow me to still maintain retention and…

  18. It would be great to be able to have a header seperate to the rest of the page to hand write titles. The you could set he header to duplicate across the next x amount of pages.

    I know you can hand write the title each time, or lasso tool the title and copy it manually, but longer documents can be tedious.

    I would like to be able to write “Lecture 1 - Introduction” on my first page, the set the header to repeat for the next 3 pages. Then write “Lecture 2 - Theory’ on page 4, and set…

  20. I want to create templates for GoodNotes that have definable areas I can write in. If my template has a bounding box, I should be able to define the box’s borders and not allow handwriting outside that bounding box. It’s the difference between actual templates and just applying an image or pdf as a background
