Enable 1-finger scroll and disable finger writing when connected to Apple Pencil

[elijahisme 4]

Several other note-taking apps have this, but essentially, when the Apple Pencil is connected it is the ONLY input device for drawing and writing. This enables easier scrolling with just one finger (since that finger doesn't write anymore) and also causes less accidental marks with the finger.

This would be amazing!

This is really frustrating as when scrolling if you drag and left the page scroll, when you try and drag again before the page comes to rest the dragging doesn't work... I think if you made it so the pen was the only input the any finger input would be dragging and hopefully this would fix the dragging issue.

Please do this...the usage without this is a nightmare!

What's even more frustrating is that I don't see any of the EN folks chiming in on these forums...

+1  This is essential.  Scrolling up and down using 2 fingers is not functional.  Being able to scroll while writing using the Apple Pencil would be ideal.  Can we get this feature?

It's not happening or it would've been implemented by now. Maybe it's an Evernote styluses exclusive like with Bamboo writing app. So sad.

+1. It’s so hard to justify Penultimate over the built in Apple Notes (and just about every other writing app on the iPad Pro) for this very reason.

This will be very useful if it supports apple pencil!

Still waiting for this feature to be added...

I've been reading comments that date back to 2016 about the lack of scrolling in ink notes  - ie the need to use the mouse the scroll or using the scroll panel - both of which options are sub-standard compared to other programs like OneNote that allows for 1-finger and 2-finger scrolling within ink notes. Is anyone aware of any current way to achieve 1-finger and 2-finger scrolling within ink notes? Thanks
