The following are the ordinary keys that have special operations assigned to them in NovaMind:
Arrow keys - When not editing the text of a branch, the arrow keys can be used to select other branches to work with. The text of the branch is selected so that you can just press Return to edit the text of the branch.
Control+Arrow keys - This nudges the selected branch slightly in the direction of the arrow key.
Delete - Deletes the currently selected branch or graphic (when you are not editing the text)
Return - If you have the text of a branch selected, but are not editing it, pressing Return starts editing it. If you are in BranchStorm mode pressing Return inserts a marker so you can start typing the text for the next branch.
Esc - If you press Esc while you are editing the text of a branch, this will end the editing operation.
There are many more keyboard shortcut keys that involve use of the Command ( ) Key. Please refer to the table below for a list of them.
