Feature request: Mindmap tool with node and keyboard support

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:

  • Miro
  • iThoughtsX

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