Feature Request: Improve keyboard shortcuts for quick entry of nodes

Open notnout opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Mindmaps are often use to quickly brainstorm about a specific topic. The current keyboard shortcuts are less efficient than in other tools. For example MindMap on Mac is a tool that has more efficient shortcuts for quick entry.

Request: Add Esc as another keyboard shortcut to quit edit mode

  • Esc should be another shortctut (together with Tab) to quit edit mode. Currently it's not used and Esc is used to close other stuff in Obsidian too (e.g. command palette).
  • Note: Many people have CapsLock mapped as Esc on their keyboard, so this is also quite ergonomic solution.

Request: Add Configuration option for Enter to quit edit mode

  • When I write an item I would like to press Enter to quit edit mode and to then either create another sibling (with Enter) or child node (with Tab). This is the behavior in tools like MindNode.
  • I understand that some people may prefer being able to easily write multiline nodes, so my suggestion is that this could be a Configuration option.
