Mind Maps

A mind map is a node tree instead of a linear document — good for brainstorming and structuring ideas before you write them out in full. Create one the normal way (Cmd+N or search), just end the name with /mindmap.

• Option+N — add a child branch from the focused node
• Option+D — delete a node and everything under it
• Shift+Option+D — clear every empty node at once
• Space + drag (or middle-mouse drag) — pan the canvas
• Cmd+Z / Shift+Cmd+Z — undo / redo, restoring full snapshots of the map

Nodes support live inline Markdown — **bold**, [[wikilinks]], and more — while you type.

Use mind maps for outlining an essay or mapping a project’s moving pieces. Use boards for project management, or any list with more structure than a plain checklist.
