Context Menu -> New Floating and again move it into place.Topic -> New Topic -> Floating and then move the node into place.Making one of the boxes of the legend is simple in iThoughtsX (on macOS). You can change the shape to a square as I have done. You also want to set its colour using the colour palette, and those of the “in the tree” topics you want to match it. Finally you’ll want to put some text in the box. We actually have a template for our podcast episodes, which I copy into a new outline. That’s pretty straightforward.įor my other uses I use REXX code to generate the outline – in a particular form of CSV (Comma-Separated Value). I haven’t found a way to robotically generate the legend but there is a simple technique to “parachute” it in: Paste As Floating does the trick.

Specifically I colour code e.g CICS Data Tables Server address spaces but hang a child node with the text “Data Tables Server” off the node that names the address space. With a legend I can dispense with this child node and tidy up. They’re actually to signal we’ve completed that piece of the recording. iThoughts supports tasks and the notion of completion.

I defined a pair of Keyboard Maestro hot key combinations to mark completion and unmark it. So, for those of you who like playing with modern tools (as I do), I hope this has been interesting.Īnyhow, more mainframe technical content soon.With iThoughts2go you can take your mindmaps with you - for reference 'on the go'.
