emacs org for brainstorming is not optimal (alien.top)

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

is what i do example

lista

listb

sublistb1

subsublistb1

sublistb2

listc

​

but then if I select and do toggle heading(on doom is space h t)

i will get flatmapped everything in one list level, a script that would examine the list inserting an ASTERISK from beginning row to first regex [0-9a-z] plus space would work but i would love an easier solution

Well, I already wrote that this is not the brainstorming process but the next step: ordering items.

With my Emacs Org-mode:

- a
- b
  - c
    - d
  - e
- f

... mark everything and invoke C-c * I get:

* a
* b
** c
*** d
** e
* f

I don't know what doom makes differently here.
