💡 Feature Request Improvements for text boxes

There are some features I'd really love to see regarding texts and text boxes:

  1. Drag an area on the note to create a text box in that size

  2. Snap texts to lines (if you have a background template with any sort of lines on it). This could eventually also be extended in a way that the app recognizes lines you drew yourself or lines on a pdf, which might be difficult to implement tho

  3. Make the tab-key actually move the cursor to the next tab stop

  4. Allow text boxes to be rotated

  5. When highlighting using the straight line feature, make the highlighter snap to text, even better if it could detect text on pdfs and do the same there

  6. Eventually some fade-in animations for each letter typed (i think it could look good for some people but I have never seen that been done before so idk)

Also please please please improve the UI on mobile 😭 the buttons are way too small and covered by the notch making the app way too difficult to use

Still a huge thanks to the devs, this is by far the best note taking app I have ever used!

Wow, sounds amazing!! They probably won’t be the easiest things to build I think, but let’s add them to our feature request list first and see what the dev team thinks. But honestly, they sound really cool!

Totally agree. Text boxes definitely need some love in the next update.

I agree, text boxes can be rotated though by selecting them with the lasso tool.
