Had a play with it, and it has great promise. I love that the keyboard interface is given priority.

I have a a couple of thoughts around the interface that might (?) be useful. I absolutely realise this is a work in progress, and you may already have these in mind. :)

* A keyboard shortcut to bring up the right click/edit menu. There's the existing menu key on non-Mac keyboards, which is probably the best thing on non-Mac keyboards to hijack.

* There doesn't seem to be any easy way to pick nodes that not right next to each other and or delete connections. ie; Something that emulates holding down control, and clicking on multiple items (or even just two).

* Potentially, a way to search in the graph using the node text. ie; hitting / would create a search box, which typing it would select the subset of nodes that have text matching the search text, which could be use to select from.




Thanks!

Ya that would be cool

> pick nodes that not right next to each other and or delete connections

If you right click on a connection (line) you can delete it. You can also cmd+click to expand the selection to multiple non-adjacent nodes.

> a way to search in the graph

Ya that will be necessary once these graphs get huge. I'd like to do a search-to-scroll feature where you can jump to nodes that match.
