Ask HN: What features do you miss in Google Docs for desktop?

I often write documents in Google Docs on my laptop. Every time I open a new document, I change the font from Arial to Lexend and set the size from 11 to 14 points. I wish Google Docs would just remember my favorite font.

Sometimes I insert special characters into my documents. The Insert > Characters > Special characters window is handy. I like that I can actually draw the symbol I'm looking for. However, I have an idea that would make inserting special characters even easier: adding a few thumbnails of recently used special characters to the toolbar.

I also miss having a button on the toolbar to toggle dark mode with a single click. To be clear: I am talking about Google Docs for desktop.
