My Mind Manual

This page documents the basic usage of the My Mind application.

Moving around

You can move the map around using the W/A/S/D keys or by dragging the map background with a mouse. Note that dragging a map node does something different - it initiates a drag-drop node operation.

To zoom the map (adjust text size), use the +/- keys or the mouse wheel. You can center the map by pressing the End key.

Selecting nodes

There is always one node selected. All node-related operations apply to this node. There are multiple ways of selecting a node.

Clicking a node to select it is the most straightforward approach. Keyboard arrows select its children, siblings and parent node with respect to topology. Home key selects the root node, backspace moves the selection to the parent node.

Editing nodes

Node contents are edited in-place via a tiny WYSIWYG feature. Enter the edit mode either by double-clicing a node, or by pressing spacebar. The F2 key does the same thing.

Once you begin editing a node, you can apply various styling to the selected text:

Key	Styling
Ctrl+B	Bold
Ctrl+I	Italic
Ctrl+U	Underline
Ctrl+S	Strike-through

Hyperlinks are automatically detected and underlined.
