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.

Line spacing is definitely driving me batshit at the minute. I know they'll eventually introduce it so I'll just wait.

Would be nice to see short stats about the _selected_ text somewhere in a sidebar or in the bottom 1-line bar with the number of symbols, words, special charactersVSalphabeticVSnumeric.

Can I make a link-reference on a page in the document to use it in the same document?
-
Jessy commented
Can you please add a Toggle block which would fold-unfold the content just like they have it in Notion?
Also would be awesome to have something like columns for a page or other way to create flexible grid layouts. It may be super useful for formatting with some equations and images which are integrated in the text. -

I support the request by K K: feature to select the email address that appears as the author of the document, including aliases. To be used in the invitation mail and the info box. Thanks a lot.

Hello,
The search tool in Proton Doc is dramaticaly missing ! (Mobile app especially) -
Jessy commented
Would be great to have a possibility to work in Docs from tablet and possibly phone (i.e. Android and iOS). Especially useful for the situations on the go, when you can't unfold the workplace with your laptop. Since the acquisition of the Standard Notes that probably shouldn't be a very big chunk of work, right?
Btw piece and love to the whole team, I love using all proton apps! -

Also, with academic paper in mind, insert latex for maths equations and so on would be great. There is an another request for that specific case here :

Please add keyboard shortcuts to move a line up or down, then I will get rid of my todo tasks app and will use the Proton Docs.

Google Docs has the ability to add a Commenter view to a document in addition to Viewer and Editor. This added function is an essential tool to authors and their editors/early readers.

Especially critical to me:
- Line spacing
- Margins
- Paint format feature
- Outline (topics, on the side)
- Page numbering
- Page view so I can format for where pages will break when I print -

Definitely need dark mode. Quite the shock switching from other Proton products in Dark mode to Docs.

Jaap commented
+ ability to move document from general menu

Khalid commented
It would be nice to have an Outline function as well for both journalling and academic papers.

Bruno Furtado commented
It would be nice to have 'Topics' on the side, like in google docs, when you fomat the phrase or word with title or heading. Obrigado

Renaming the doc from the original "Untitled document - date": plz by default select the whole name to be easily wiped out. (when we rename a document, in general, we rebuild the name from scratch)

Being able to merge table cells together is a vital feature for me in my work flow. In the same vein, a pageless design is wonderful for working online, but for printing documents a paged view would be really helpful.

Olivier commented
Adding Table of Content (named Outline in Google Docs or Navigation pane in MS Word) is a must have to me.

Convert markdown to headings, links, bullet points etc. when pasting it in the document
