Allow arrow keys between pages
I would like to be able to use the arrow keys to navigate between pages rather than having to click on the arrow keys i the navigation bar.
3 votesYou can do this using alt + left/right arrows. FYI, using just left/right (and up/down) arrows by themselves pans around the page. A complete list of shortcuts is available here: http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1201054.

Add ability to import PDFs from Google Drive on a Chromebook
Import PDF files directly from Google Drive on a Chromebook.
95 votesThis is already possible. You just need to install the Google Drive Android app from Google Play on your Chromebook. Please see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1874122 for further details.
Some of the comments on this idea appear to be for automatic Drive backup or sync. If that’s what you want, please vote here: http://feedback.squidnotes.com/forums/177239-general/suggestions/6379530.

undo and redo
the app has a CTRL-Z undo feature but there's no CTRL-Y redo feature
too many times I've deleted whole notes and not been able to bring them back1 voteThe keyboard shortcut for redo is Ctrl + Shift + Z. FYI, you can also tap the redo (and undo) buttons in the action bar at the top. Please see this FAQ article for a list of keyboard shortcuts: http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1201054

Enlargement of pdf-files on Chromebooks without touchscreen
Older Chromebooks (Chrome OS) without touchscreen have been updated to install android apps. For me, it was not possible to enlarge an imported pdf-document (Format DIN-A-4) without touch-function. Therefore I can not edit pdf-Documents in Squid, because they are too small and I can not enlarge them without touch-function. Please implement a possibility to enlarge them on older chromebooks without touchscreen.
1 voteYou can zoom with pinch-to-zoom on the touchpad!

For God's sake can someone give us a note with a black background?
You have a pretty awesome app but it lacks what all the rest lack - a dark (black) background.
You need to beat competition...most people want that.3 votesAs Tony described in the comments, this is already possible. Either create a new note with a blank background and choose the desired color, or change the background of an existing page by going to the Page Settings.

Add support for the tablet mode split screen feature in Chrome OS
Would like to see support for tablet mode split screen in Chrome OS
13 votesSplit screen is fully supported by Squid. Whether this works on your Chromebook depends on which version of Chrome OS and device you have. In general, this should work on Chrome OS 70. However, it is currently broken on the Pixel Slate (running Chrome OS 71 with Android 9) as well as Chrome OS 72 with Android 9. Both of these issues have been reported to Google and should be fixed in a future update to Chrome OS.
If you ever have any issues with split screen, please email us at help@squidnotes.com and let us know what device and version of Chrome OS you’re on and we’ll let Google know about the issue if we haven’t already.

Add Pages in between Notes
I like being able to annotate .pdf versions of my professor's slides, however, if I want to add more notes, I have to go all the way to the end of the file, then add a page, then drag it to the right spot. It would be so much easier if I could just add a blank page right after my current page.
11 votesThis is already possible (as Tony mentioned in the comments). Just long press the current page number to insert a page or PDF before the current page. Please see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/501193 and http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1136155

Allow to confirm new note title with keyboard
Squid is an awesome app! Thanks a lot for building it.
When renaming a note by tapping the input box in the action bar (while editing the note) a dialog appears, asking you for the new note title.
The EditText in the dialog is already selected, putting the cursor at the very end (which is nice for modifying the title). However, when pressing the Enter key on an attached hardware keyboad, the newly entered title is not accepted, but the cancel button is highlighted (which is the wrong default one would accept when pressing enter).
This is actually an issue…

make your icons round for the google pixel
I love the new round icons, and it would be great if you would make some icons just for google's round icon revolution.
If it helps, I made some perfect conversions of the squid android icon and uploaded them here.

Add additional pages from a 2nd or 3rd PDF
I currently do field surveys using squid. I am able to create a document using 1,2, or 3 page pdf templates. I can add additional note pages, but it would be awesome to pull in additional pdf files, in case I have to add more findings, rather than create additional reports and then export to a pc to combine the pdfs into 1 using adobe products.
1 voteYou can do this by long pressing on the current page number while in a note and choosing Import PDF. We’re working on ways to make this more discoverable. :)

Share into Squid
Like when I take a screenshot in my android phone, press share, into squid, write a note, wonderful! There are a lot of other apps I can Share a screenshot into/ through, but Squid is not there, at least not on my device...
15 votesThis was added a while back!

Make Squid a default for opening PDFs
In the list of default apps that can open PDFs, I did not see squid listed. This means that each time I want to open a PDF, I have to open squid and import PDF. Then I have to search through all my files for the correct PDF. This seems like a waste of time. Do you think you could make squid available as one of the default PDF programs?
3 votesSquid should show up as an option when opening a PDF from another app. If it doesn’t, please contact support at help@squidnotes.com so we can investigate.
