MindManager starts in Map View. This is the best view for creating and editing your maps and for getting the big picture of what the map covers. This view displays all the components of your map including floating topics, relationships, images and boundaries. You will probably do most of your work in this view.
To switch to Map View from another view click Map
View in the View tab, Document Views group, or click Map View
in the Status Bar.
For smaller maps, navigation is straightforward using the mouse. For large maps you may find it helpful to collapse and expand topics to make it easier to move around the map.
You can also navigate through maps efficiently using the keyboard:
Keystroke |
Action |
Arrow keys |
Select the topic above or below or to the left or right
of the current topic. |
TAB, SHIFT+TAB |
Move to the next or previous topic, callout or subtopic. Use this method to visit each topic on the map in order. Floating topics and callouts attached to relationship lines are skipped. |
For more information see Keyboard shortcuts.
You can also add bookmarks to a sequence of topics to make it easier to navigate between them.
