The keyboard shortcuts seem awfully node-centric. How do I create an edge between two nodes?

You can use the "staging" feature

towards the bottom of the 'Shortcuts' menu. And its the ribbon icon in the toolbar.

Like:

Above -- select the node, cmd-option-s (or ctrl-alt-s) stages the node. Then selects the next node, then Tab to move the staged node after the selected node. Also works with Shift-Tab to move it before.

I'm still trying to think of better ways to do this. It works, but "staging" is kind of an invented concept that probably isn't intuitive.

And to disconnect nodes you select them and then Shift-Delete.

I see what you mean. This is quite similar to the notion of "grab" I invented over at 💬 #devlog-together@2022-08-30T04:57:53.383Z

It might not be too bad if you rarely create complex graph structures. For example I can imagine a conditional node is just <tab> <left> <tab>, which is quite nice.

Which brings up the question of what sorts of use cases you're targeting that got you to build this. Is this something you're using all the time?

I use it for project management

Basically task dependencies

I've also seen people use it:

• hardware design
• doctors mapping out a prognosis plan
• business folks doing issue analysis
• personal knowledge management
