as mind map user I like to jot idea with parent, children, sibling hierarchy.

I am not satisfied with the present method of creating the three above as need to do a lot of adjustments ex option+ enter to create a new sibiling then ,Shift+<, or Shift+> to adapt the sibiling as a parent or sub. As I am in a creative process would like a faster way to achieve this.

For long list of sibilings I resolved writing in plain text the list and then shift+V and jjjj to select the list and then i launch toggle-heading, but this does not work if I add myself spaces in the plain text.

Please do you know a fast way to open a parent/children/sibiling node, I see a shortcut could be a solution, but do not know if is a good idea because should combine more commands

Have you tried pen and paper

[–] ivano_GiovSiciliano@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

is a good trick, but need to deal often with confidential info, so should make a map, make a picture, make a safe OCR, destroy the paper, not a good idea, i prefer my pc not connected to the internet

The good old pencil and paper, always reliable

Even better is using paper cards - one idea per card; can arrange in front of you or pin onto a board. Like https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/NfdHG6oHBJ8Qxc26s/the-zettelkasten-method-1#Zettelkasten__Part_2__Further_Advice (ignore Zettelkasten part - look at the image)
