I'm a big fan and user of mind maps and I like what you have created.

But there is one thing missing - unless I missed it:

Keyboard shortcuts to create sibling and childnodes from any given currently selected node.

The reasoning is that mind-mapping happens fast and I've refused any tool that would need me use my mouse instead of just 'throwing' nodes out there.

Please note that this was the one capability that made me not use most of the desktop apps out there and also had me pay for a license of novamind without asking twice.

Also, but this is to me secondary, the ability to make edges between random nodes can be of great benefit as well. Again, see novamind for their implementation.

Other than that, congratulations to your application!



PS: Novamind's shortcuts are easy, too:

If you have a node selected and

* hit <TAB> it creates and preselects a new child node. * hit <SHIFT><TAB> it creates and preselects a new sibling node.


Good feedback, thanks!

The shortcuts TAB and SHIFT+TAB make total sense (Why didn't I think of this?). Will push an update tomorrow with those features added.
