  1. When you start using text there should immediately appear a toolbar so you can use the typing function as within word/pages… you should be able to start typing in a box as soon where u last put your pencil(or add a starting point). This way you don’t lose time switching between modes.

  11. 在MAC上操作时,增加一个快捷键。按住“空格”键,可以移动页面。现在只能按“左”、“右”键进行移动,很不方便。

  13. Having two split screens open with one side covering 3/4 of the ipad screen leads to a zoom issue. This is how to reproduce it, load two documents in the good notes split screen mode, the smallest covering 1/4 of the screen in lanscape mode. Double tap to zoom. Leave goodnotes. Reopen it. See that the zoom mode is wrong: small text on right side split screen zoomed in accidentally. See attached footage of the bug. Ipad os and goodnotes are both up to date. … sorry attachment mp4 not allowed in your feedback form.

  15. By pressing and holding without drawing, it temporarily changes to the lasso tool.
    After deselecting, return to the original tool.
    I sometimes want to correct the position of text while handwriting.

  16. I would like to be able to add and track items in my device to-do list from within a page in GoodNotes. For example, possibly writing “!:Call John” would add “Call John” to a “GoodNotes” to-do list, and convert the “!:” to a check box. Completing the item in the device to-do list would check it in GoodNotes, and conversely, checking it in GoodNotes would complete it in the device to-do list.

  17. The share sheet lets us integrate with various apps or shortcuts.
    For example, I often want to translate some sentences in the document to my native language.
    However, right now, I have to copy the sentence, close GoodNotes, open Safari, paste it to some translation website (e.g., DeepL), and then go back to GoodNotes, which is kind of annoying.
    If there were a share sheet, I could simply select the sentence, tap on the "Share" button, and choose whatever shortcuts I want to use.

  19. I would love support for secondary monitor scrolling. As of now when I have my 4k secondary monitor in portrait or landscape mode the scrolling is very choppy that makes it near impossible to use. If I have my sidebar up it seems to run a little smoother but not well enough for practical use so as of now I always keep my sidebar up and choose the page rather than scrolling.
    Macbook Pro M1 with trackpad and 4k portable monitor.

    Good notes is great notes!

  20. At the moment if you want to add an element in the library if the object in question was not created by hand, you need first to make a screeshot and then add the element. This can be relatively time consuming if you want to bulk create them, since making a screeshoot is a three step process (take screenshot -> Select export -> copy )

    An alternative would be to either or both:
    * add an element directly as an image by selecting a portion of the document
    * or by adding an instant snapshot feature to copy the area…
