Keyboard shortcuts

One of the guiding principles of MindMup is to make users more productive. MindMup has keyboard shortcuts for all map edit operations - remember them and you'll be able to capture your ideas much faster.

On Mac OSX, Ctrl and Cmd keys can be used for shortcuts marked Ctrl below - some browsers prevent certain key bindings. So, for example, if Cmd+Space does not work in your browser, try Ctrl+Space.
