Thank you for the project. It looks very good, mainly because it’s simple to use.

I’ll list the things that are really missing:

  • Shortcut support:

    • TAB to move between nodes. If a node is already selected, continue from it.
    • CTRL+[ / CTRL+] to resize the selected node.
    • Start typing on any node = edit its text, or F2 or ENTER to edit text.
    • CTRL + Left/Right arrows — change font size.
    • CTRL + Up/Down arrows — change node color (cycle through available colors; there aren’t many).
    • CTRL + ENTER — finish editing text in a node (ESC is not a very good option).
    • CTRL + ENTER on a selected node outside text-edit mode — create the same node linked to the current one.
    • CTRL + 1, 2, 3 — change the node shape.
    • CTRL+G / CTRL+SHIFT+G — group and ungroup nodes. This is not about creating a grouping shape. It’s a simple grouping feature to move nodes together.
    • Right-click on a node - show the node menu immediately. Currently, the first right-click only selects the node, and the menu appears only on the second click.
  • Link shapes are missing.
    To keep it simple, arrow directions would be enough (add arrows on both ends).

  • Additional color creation is missing.
    A “+” button in the color picker would be very useful.

  • Images are missing, but I understand that there’s nowhere to store them inside the PNG. However, emojis or font-based symbols could be added instead — for example, in the top-right corner of a node. These are easy to store and persist.

Overall, thank you very much for the project.
It would also be great to have the option to install it locally.
