I love the Docs feature a lot right now. It's good for about 90% of my use cases.
+ 1 for the page setup options (Margin options, 1, 1.5 spaces, etc.) for use in papers. That is one use case that I cannot use Proton Docs for at the moment.

I agree with another user about the ability to open .docx and .odt files too. Sometimes I get sent those files, 99% of the time .docx, and being able to view them in Proton Docs would be ideal too.

Addtionally, if I copy and paste links into the docs and have text highlighted it should automatically recoginze that I want to link the existing text to the link and not just paste the entire link into the doc. Same way as notion is doing it.

Two quick improvements:
1. Support the ability to directly export your doc as a pdf or odt
2. Support a view where I can see how many pages I am writing (default view in google docs)

The second is important if you are page restricted for e.g. a motivational letter.

With certainty the proton team is on the right track. The online docs feature is what I think has stopped many users from porting their docs entirely from Google or Microsoft.
Although it is obvious that there are still many things to improve on the functionality side of the actual editor, I propose in order of importance some improvements related more to the way of working.
1. The first, and I think the most important, is the possibility to open the .docx and .odt format directly in Proton docs (similar to what Google offers).
2. From the perspective of security in the Proton Drive application, it should be introduced in the settings the option to select with which browser to open Proton Docs. Documents are currently opened automatically with the default browser in Windows. But let's say we want to leave default chrome for daily tasks, but want Proton docs to be opened with another (supposedly more secure) browser or used in a more isolated way.

Great start! Would like to be able to edit off-line with a desktop or mobile app, perhaps? Thank you for providing Proton Docs!

When I am editing a Document in Proton Drive, I have three specific feature requests for the Document editor:

1) Please make the "Bulleted list" button be a top-level control in the formatting bar. In other words, make it possible for me to format the current line of the document as a bulleted list using just a single click of the mouse. The current UI design requires me to first click a button that reveals a dropdown. Then, from the dropdown that appears, I must click a second time on the "Bulleted list" option. The Google Docs approach to this problem is vastly superior to what Proton Docs currently offers. Google Docs supports a single click to change the formatting to a bulleted list and also offers a thin dropdown arrow next to the bulleted list button. By clicking that dropdown, I could optionally change the list formatting to another type of list.

2) When my text is formatted as a bulleted list, I want Proton Docs to change the bullet icon in order to distinguish between a top-level bullet point (solid black circle), a second-level bullet point (black circumference of a circle with white fill), a third-level bullet point (solid black square), etc. This would make it very easy to distinguish how intended each line of text is within the bulleted list. This also would align Proton Docs with the widely established behavior of other document editors like Google Docs and Microsoft Word.

3) Support additional line spacing and paragraph spacing options. For example, please support configuring the amount of space spacing before or after a paragraph (0px, 5px, 10px, etc), configuring the amount of spacing between lines within a paragraph (single spaced, 1.5 spacing, double spaced, etc).

Proton Docs has been released with the ability to edit a word processing document. This is useful for office work settings and schoolwork where these document types are required.

In many cases however, a fully configurable plaintext editor is a simpler, more powerful tool to write organized notes, code, and documentation.

Having a fully configurable text editor embedded in the cloud would be a wonderful way to make workflow portable across platforms, and collaborative online.

It should be possible to embed something like vim into your Docs product. Configurations could be saved on the cloud too.

I barely use cloud Docs because most of my workflow is in plaintext, and google does not offer a plaintext editor in google Docs. This is an opportunity for differentiation.

You would have to investigate the potential demand. But I for one would be using vim on proton docs all day.

Additionally, I request a feature to select the email address that appears as the author of the document. Currently, the primary address is displayed, which is not always desirable. The ability to use an alternate address would be very helpful.

A few things that are important to me:

- LaTeX support for math. Mathquill.com is a great library for implementing this. Check out desmos.com to see mathquill in action.
- Sharing with non-Proton users, even if it's just for viewing. This would especially important if Proton creates a Google Forms equivalent.
- Syntax highlighting for code blocks. Not expecting an IDE, just better readability.

The initial state of Docs surprised me. The UX is a lot better than what I was expecting, probably because of my experience with Standard Notes. There is, of course, a lot left to do before it comes close to Google Docs:

- LaTeX support for math (I suggest using mathquill.com. Desmos.com implements it and it's very easy for the end user)
- A menu for browsing Unicode characters such as ⬉, ♬, etc. Google Docs calls this Special characters
- Table of contents based on titles and headers.
- Suggestion mode
- Syntax highlighting for code blocks (not expecting an IDE although would be pretty cool)
- Pageless format
- Headers & footers
- Render the gray bar in front of quotes when printing
- Line spacing
- Create a shareable link which would allow anyone who accesses it to edit or view the document without a Proton account

Initial implementation of Docs is great, but plenty of areas to improve.
I assume there is a lot still being worked on.

A couple things I've noticed, would like added/improved.

- Image formatting options - currently images are only inline, adjusting the browser width messes with the image aspect ratio.
- Dark mode
- Code block control - options to style the code block

Yeah, Proton Docs is amazing, but as we love improvements on Proton's servicies, here I put some ideas to considere to implement by Proton Team 💜💜💜

- Dark mode on Docs
- Create Forms to share someone as well as G€€gle but with privacy
- Continue improve Docs as introducing SpreadSheet, etc.

A couple of things that I found that I would need.
* Dark mode. All of the other Proton apps have multiple themes including a couple dark variants. So it seems a bit strange to have a completely white page (including the menu bar).
* I really miss the Show/Hide Paragraph (¶). It is something that I learnt to use many years ago, and now I almost always have it on when writing.
* Give me options to change the view of the document. For example a Print layout (to be able to see how the page will look) and Read layout, etc.
* Checklist, so that it is easy to create a checklist. And that can easily be used to mark items in the checklist as done/completed.
