Keyboard shortcuts increase your productivity, even if you are new to writing and marketing with MindManager 7.0 Pro. A few seconds here, and a few seconds there, add up at the end of the day!
Keyboard shortcuts let you access commands without taking your hand from the keyboard and reaching for the mouse. These shortcuts are activated by holding down the Control, Alt, and Shift keys while pressing other keys.
Many of the following shortcuts are new to MindManager 7.0 Pro for the Microsoft Windows operating system.
These shortcuts focus your own, or your audience's, attention on selected topics.
F4 function key. This focuses attention on a single topic or subtopic. Repeat to show all topics or subtopics.
Ctrl + Shift + 1 2 3, etc. Use these shortcuts to add icons and change task priority. Use Ctrl + Shift + 0 to remove task priority icons.
Ctrl _ Shift + B. Use this shortcut to add a boundary to emphasize a topic and of its subtopics.
These shortcuts allow you to see more of your current map.
Ctrl + Shift F1. MindManager's task pane to the right of the screen often opens by itself, such as when opening a new map. Use this shortcut to hide (or, later, reveal) the task pane without using the mouse.
