Zoom Lock Mode
The two-finger swipe gesture used for page navigation frequently triggers the pinch-to-zoom function unintentionally. This is a recurring source of friction — the app zooms in mid-navigation, requiring the user to manually reset the zoom level before continuing.
Request: Introduce a Zoom Lock toggle that disables pinch-to-zoom when activated. This should be accessible quickly — either from the toolbar or a floating button — so users can enable it during long note-taking or reading sessions where zoom is not needed. When Zoom Lock is on, two-finger gestures should be interpreted exclusively as page-turn inputs, not zoom triggers.

Goodnotes should have separate toggles for pinch-to-zoom and double-click zoom, so disabling one doesn’t remove the other. Put them in document navigation settings so touch and mouse users can turn off only the gesture they keep triggering accidentally, without changing Windows-wide behavior.

I would add that this equally applies to the mouse function. Double-clicking anywhere on a page automatically zooms in or out, but there is no setting to disable this gesture. It is frequently triggered accidentally while navigating or writing. Please add a toggle under document-editing or navigation settings that allows users to disable double-click/double-tap zoom without changing Windows-wide mouse settings.
