Hey FigJam / Figma team,
It would be amazing if we could get a slightly improved Mind Mapping tool that operated similar to most other mind-mapping tools so I can have team-mates jump in as we try to become Figma only.
Mindmapping improvements:
*** Node based CSV architecture.** Currently you can’t exactly move nodes and dependencies and do fast and easy IA changes without getting clunky and dealing with connectors.
*** Keyboard support.** This is really critical to getting into the flow of just architecting hierarchy. Going back and forth with copy pasting nodes with a mouse and then going to edit text fields or widgets is super tedious. The Sitemap plugin is a great example of a stand-in here but really frustrating to edit.
Keyboard commands
- Tab - Create a Child node
- Enter or Ctrl Enter - Create a Sibling node
- Shift Tab - Create a parent node
- Up Arrow - Nav UP a node
- Down Arrow - Nav DOWN a node
- Left or Right Arrow - Nav ACROSS siblings
Additional support such as node styling, text styling, or CSV export is super low priority.
This is definitely one of those “one reasons” I keep MIRO in my tool kit.
Great comparisons:

Thanks for this great tool thought. The social collaboration is best in class!
