Vertical orientation of the mindmap? #16

Open pheraph opened 7 years ago

pheraph commented 7 years ago

I can imagine a vertical orientated mindmap might work very well for a mindmap window with a small width. Similar to the minimap-Plugin I could give most of the screen space to the markdown content and use the mindmap to navigate.

Do you mean vertical layout like this? https://bl.ocks.org/d3noob/b024fcce8b4b9264011a1c3e7c7d70dc That might too wide quickly if you have many branches.

Or something like an outliner might be interesting: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1093025

What do you think? Also if you could find an image of what you have in mind that would be great.

Initially I thought a vertical mindmap might fit, but as you mentioned the outliner I think that would be great. Something similar and as simple as the collapsable finder in OSX maybe:

Thanks, sounds reasonable. I can try to add it when I find the time. In the mean time you can also try this package which might help: https://atom.io/packages/symbols-tree-view

Awesome, lacks a hierarchical structure but I even managed to add support for taskpaper. Hooray! :)
