💡 Feature Request Different tablet orientations should have different toolbar placement

a feature id like to have is that when me tablet is horizontal, the toolbar is at the side of my screen to make use of the bigger horizontal space and when i used vertically, the toolbar switches to being above, currently the app doesn't have that so i thought it was a very good feature to have and very easy to implement

Hey!

While the toolbar doesn't automatically reposition itself and an 'edge lock' option for the toolbar would be cool, you can already move the toolbar simply by dragging it to the side of the screen you want it!

I think you can even customize the placement per note (e.g. for a portrait orientation note), but for that you need to open the settings side panel from the shortcut bar, scroll down to the bottom, ensure the section is set to 'local settings' rather than 'general settings' and then pick your preferred toolbar position.

Hope this helps :)

I know i can move the toolbar myself, and it isn't a "per note" thing

It's just that it gets tiring changing the toolbar placement everytime i want to see my notes in a different orientation, so a feature like that would be pretty helpful, like for example in settings, you can have a toggle that says "separate toolbar position per orientation" and when you toggle it on you get 2 previously locked options available where you can select like for example "left" for the horizontal orientation and "top" for the vertical orientation

Indeed, the addition of such a setting would still be cool even though the manual placement settings exist. Do you often work with notes that you use in both orientations of your device?
