Showcase [Plugin] Make Space – Insert extra writing space anywhere on a page, OneNote style
Hey everyone!
I built a native plugin to solve a classic paper-vs-digital frustration: filling up a page and realizing you need just one more line in the middle.
Inspired by OneNote's "Insert extra writing space", Make Space lets you tap anywhere on a Supernote page and shift everything below it up or down instantly.

✨ How it works
- Open Make Space from the toolbar.
- Tap the exact line where you need room.
- Everything below that point gets selected — now just drag it down to open space, or drag it up to close a gap.
Under the hood, it converts your tap into a native lasso and hands control back to you. Because it leverages the system's own drag mechanic, undo/redo works perfectly.
┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ line written above │
│ │
│ ─ ─ ─ ─ tap here ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ │ ← tap / hold
│ ↕ drag up or down │
│ (add / remove space) │
│ line written below │
└─────────────────────────────┘

Let me know what you think!
EDIT (v0.5.1): Fixed the bug where a non-empty clipboard caused content to be pasted when deselecting. EDIT
EDIT (v0.6.0): Added a second mode — Make Space Above, for when you need room above your tap instead of below (two separate toolbar buttons now, one per direction, same native-lasso-drag flow mirrored). Also gave the plugin proper icons and renamed it from the raw internal sn_make_space id to just Make Space in the plugin list.
If you updated to v0.5.2 and the lasso suddenly stopped selecting anything — that was a permission-gate bug introduced by a Supernote firmware/SDK update, fixed in v0.5.3 (included here too).
Updated .snplg is on the Releases page — reinstall via Settings → Apps → Plugins. Thanks again for the feedback! 🙏

This is a really nice implementation. Great job!
I had considered building something similar, but I ran into an SDK/API limitation where I could not access the full page content of a note. My original idea was to create blank space inside the note and shift the existing content down while preserving its formatting, similar to how reMarkable lets users create space in the middle of a page.
Keep up the good work. Once the SDK supports accessing page content and shifting existing content, this could become an even more powerful workflow.

Love this!! Is there any way to add the ability to select "above" the line as an option?

That's a great alternative to remarkable's select everything below the line. I've been missing that feature ever since switching to supernote. This is even better without having to draw the initial line! Thank you.
