Multi-Select drag and drop

[earlewallbank]

Currently, when you multi-select sub-topics (let's say they are in the same topic) using Ctrl+left click, when you try to drag and drop the selected items to a different topic, only one of the items is moved.
I would like to be able to drag and drop multi-selected sub-topics to a different topic in one action.
It is quite painful to move individual sub-topics (I am a relatively new user so any advice on what I may be doing wrong would be welcome)

Hi,

1. Select the topics.
2. Press Ctrl+X key combination ( or Cut button from Home -> Clipboard ribbon group)
3. Select the topic you want to move these topics( or branches)
4. Press Ctrl+V key combination ( or Paste button)

This is a partial solution to what was asked for. But if earlewallbank and I are on the same page, we want to be able to manually move a block of nodes

and sort of preview where they will be placed. Cut and paste only gives us the end result. Again - that's OK as a partial solution, but doesn't fully

address the need.


more and better keyboard shortcuts

I'd like the ability to move nodes around with using my keyboard, much as I can do with Freemind. Right now, the Ctrl+arrowkeys pans the screen. I'd

like to see something like Ctrl+Shift+arrowkeys move node(s) around.

I'd like to have more intuitive, but more importantly, more convenient keyboard combinations for expanding and collapsing a node. A spacebar toggle

would be nice. Click a step. Press the spacebar to expand the node. Press it again to close the node.

I'd like to have Ctrl+z perform the Undo function as it does in 99% of all (just Windows?) programs.

Thoughts?
