I’ve been using Lettera for my professional writing work for about a month now. The very rare bug reports – kudos to the team! – are going through TestFlight. So, here I wanted to give some general feedback on some of th… --- ## [FR: Support TextBundle](https://community.bear.app/t/fr-support-textbundle/19534)

The current version seems to already support editing textbundle, but it does not yet support creating a textbundle by default when creating a new one. Will this feature be added later? From my experience, textbundle can… --- ## [Full Screen Sketch/Zoom on iPad](https://community.bear.app/t/full-screen-sketch-zoom-on-ipad/15144)

I use the sketch feature daily in class, journaling, and for annotation to even completely be paperless, but ability to zoom in or full screen sketch pad would make it possible for detail and cleaner writing especially f… --- ## [Linking to other notes?](https://community.bear.app/t/linking-to-other-notes/19957)

Operation system: Windows Web Browser: Chrome I’ve tried using the \[\[ and @ notations but nothing happens - is it a bug, or at the moment it is not possible to quickly link another note in the Web app?

Currently there is no menu option or shortcut (that I could find) to show/hide the Inspector like the Sidebar. If there’s a menu item, I can shortcut/macro it! --- ## [Toggle auto-moving un/completed tasks to top/bottom](https://community.bear.app/t/toggle-auto-moving-un-completed-tasks-to-top-bottom/19971)

This menu option is useless: Since, currently, completing a task automatically moves it to the bottom of a list (messing up my git commits). This should be a toggle as I don’t want that behaviour most of the time. Al… --- ## [Feature Request: YAML frontmatter](https://community.bear.app/t/feature-request-yaml-frontmatter/19556)

It would be great to add support for an optional yaml frontmatter as part of the note. This feature would allow us to search, categorize, and filter on this metadata very easily. --- ## [Syncing status for each note](https://community.bear.app/t/syncing-status-for-each-note/19949)

Hi guys, I’m using Bear Web on Chrome, last version. I think that the symbol to display the syncing status is useful. That being said, if I’ve understood correctly, that symbol tells the user that “syncing had issues a… --- ## [FR: Navigation Improvements](https://community.bear.app/t/fr-navigation-improvements/19277)

I know, and I’m sure the team does as well, there needs to be key distinction between Bear and Lettera. There’s risk in too many overlapping features. That being said, I do have a few aspects of Bear I would want replic… --- ## [Incorrect line breaks in TeX formulas](https://community.bear.app/t/incorrect-line-breaks-in-tex-formulas/19952)

In case this hasn’t been asked. It’d be nice if we could indicate testing for word boundaries (and since I’m here matching case) for the find and replace.

Hey, so actually Bear has tons of new features which are really solid and amazing. One thing I think is missing most is a collaboration or shared feature to work together on one note with other people. Especially, when … --- ## [Save dialogs are missing the "Cancel" button](https://community.bear.app/t/save-dialogs-are-missing-the-cancel-button/19931)
