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
I don’t know about your brainstorming process.
When I do brainstorming, I don’t arrange the items in the initial phase. Instead, I create a list item, write my idea, press C-RET for the next item, write down the idea and so forth.
This results in an unordered list of ideas.
Only after finishing this brainstorming phase, I start moving items around.
Therefore, I don’t get distracted by order, commands, styling, arrangement, priorities, … in the brainstorming phase.
After I’ve ordered the items, I may convert the simple list to headings using C-u C-* (AFAIR).
HTH
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.
