Proton Docs Improvements
The ability to have a non-pageless design, a ruler, line spacing so it can be used for academic papers (think double space, 1.15, 1.5, etc...), ability to open PDFs in Proton Docs, word count, and the paint format feature. Also, please add the ability for the mobile versions of Proton Drive to edit Proton Docs in the app or a separate Proton Doc app. I love Proton Docs though it's amazing and the UI is beautiful.

I would love to switch from Zoho to Proton Docs (I am a Proton user), but need to be able to create docs in A4 size, and to have print view, word count etc

Nie ilmprovement would be to easily link a ProtonDoc to another, so that you can easily use ProdonDocs files as a wiki

Genuinely the inability to port my gdocs stuff and have it still be readable thanks to the mandatory double line spacing is the biggest thing keeping me from being able to switch off gdrive

A small but somewhat important suggestion I think is to be able to save/download files in .odt format for additional compatibility with LibreOffice.

Please add a dark mode for docs.

Biggest thing for me is Page breaks as I need to print some documents out. Thank you!

I print my documents. Layout matters. Columns and page breaks would be enough to keep me out of Google Docs.

Yes, love Proton Docs; please add things above as well as:
- ability to create multiple columns of text.
- editable page layout (portrait vs landscape)
- ruler features (including editable margins) -

It would also be nice to have some of this features:
-Embed Youtube Video
-Collapsible field
-Change default font and if possible had some other fonts
-When some text is formated as heading, to have them showing on the side, making it easy to navigate through the document. -

Docs is awesome and I am so happy to see it added! I would love to see the following improvements:
1. Dark theme support
2. More file type support like .odt files
3. Separate the document title from the main menu button
- single clicking the document title should start editing the title
- menu button could be movable with toggle lock
4. Open a document in the same tab as Proton Docs.
- The docs home button from a document should also go home on the same tab
5. PAGED option, pageless is nice but limited value
6. More font options
7. Ability to upload our own fonts
8. Copy/paste formatting -

Please add this! I so need this for formatting documents:
A non-pageless design (pages with page breaks)
A ruler
Ability to open PDFs in Proton Docs
Word count
I can't emphasize how much more I would use Proton Docs if it had just these four features!

Yes and the ability to add footnotes(integration with Zotero maybe?). That is essential for me as a university student.

Would very much like to see a simple search function on the (android) app. Just to find a key word in a big document.
It works on the PC, but would be great to have on the mobile app as well. -
Naxterra commented
It should have at least same functionality as Notepad++
-
Heather commented
Would also love to be able to dictate

I use Google Docs because they are very easy to edit from my phone. If Proton Docs were as easy to use, I would transfer everything over and rid myself of Google forever.
Some improvements to the mobile interface of Proton Docs are:
• Open in view mode by default, and double-tap for Edit mode.
• Indent/outdent buttons should be positioned just above the keyboard (like Google Docs) for quick bullet point editing.
• Dark mode. All mobile interfaces need dark mode because a white interface is super bright at night.A desktop suggestion is to have the table of contents on the left, auto-created from the headings and subheadings. Really long documents need this feature for easy navigation.
Basically just take every feature from Google Docs. Their programmers have thought this stuff through already.
These missing features are preventing me from switching over from Google. Please fix!!
