This would be a good feature, one concern I have is that the 'relationships'
system
would have to be made more efficient - currently adding many relationships to a
large 1
sheet mindmap can double or triple the size of the .xmind and cause memory
management
issues.

Concept map support has been added to XMIND as a built-in feature since the very
first release. Using floating topics and relationships is enough to draw a
concept
map. As to the central topic, you can drag the sheet around until the central
topic
is out of the map view ;).... What we're currently considering is to improve the
efficiency of the keyboard access.
P.S. to james: Please try the latest version of XMIND and see whether the memory
issue still exists. Thanks!

frankshaka: Issue 77 seems like a solution which would work well for very
complex
maps; it seems almost ideal to me, except for cases where one needs to make a
great
number of relationship link to multiple--but a limited number of--primary
topics.
Here an easy-to-implement alternative I would like to see, especially because
it is
one of the most bio-mechanically efficient ways to make many links:
ctrl-1 adds "Priority" markers. Could these be used as "theme" or "concept"
markers?
Consider this situation: The user has 64 floating topics, which can be classified
into 6 interrelated themes, for a total of 70 floating objects. To link a
dozen of
the floating topics to what the user has decided is a 1st priority theme, why
not
make ctrl-l-1 link all selected objects to the theme which is marked with the
Priority 1 marker? Currently I would nest these dozen topics under a theme as
subtopics, but this becomes problematic when the dozen topics should have two
(or
more) parent themes. If Priority markers cannot double as attributes for this,
can
we get a new kind of marker? By looking at the shortcuts ctrl-l-1, ctrl-l-2,
etc. do
you wonder if that they are related to the markers you defined with alt-1,
alt-2, etc.?

P.S. I wonder if most people would prefer to define the type of relationship
directly
after C-l, of after the endpoint is selected? I look forward to further
developments
of XMind's keyboard access, and believe that XMind can become *the* best
keyboard-driven supported mind/concept-mapping software. It's already among the
best, in my opinion. Great work.
