Mind Map

The mindmap allows for easy jotting down of ideas and storing them in a hierarchical fashion.

Terminology#

A node is a single idea, represented differently based on depth (filled rounded rectangle for the root note, unfilled rectangles for sub-ideas, lines only for sub-sub-ideas).
The root node is the top-most node from which all other nodes derive, displayed as a filled rectangle. There can only be a single root node.

To create a new node at the same level as the current one, press Enter, enter the desired text and then press Enter once again to confirm.
Similarly, to create a sub-node, press Tab, enter the desired text and then press Enter.
To create a parent, use Ctrl+Enter instead.
To remove a node, press Delete.
To move a node up or down, press Page Up or Page Down.
To adjust the font size, color of the text or background or to add a link, click on a node and use the floating panel that appears to the right.
To select one or more notes, drag and drop across the map.
Right click the node to bring a contextual menu with options such as creating new nodes, focusing on a particular notes or creating links between them.
Use the buttons at the top-left to change the positioning of the nodes relative to the root node (to the left, to the right, or to both sides).
In the Floating buttons area:
- An image reference can be copied, to paste the mind map in a text note.
- The diagram can be exported either as SVG (vectorial) or PNG (raster).
