related to #47

(possibly) Use NSGestureRecognizers for mouse Events instead of the default cocoa events.

since there should be a delay to trigger the mouseDragged event, because when you click a concept, many times that concept is moved without you wanting to

or use the while method approach for this.

TODO

• make new target for building the quicklook plugin
• copy over the files from the other xcode project
• configure build product of xcode project to be added inside the product of the mac app.

• colors
• arrow tip
• possibly width of arrow
• fix text editor not inheriting styles of concepts

• i previously remove the embedding of it

also considering paste with no formating

Can you organize groups of thoughts/words by giving them colour?

Can you chose to not have arrow heads. Sometimes this is not necessary.

Can you chose a blob (or just nothing) at the end of a line instead of an arrow?

Could you chose to have lines follow an underlying invisible grid so they take on a more structured form 90, 45 degrees withe rounded corners?

What about being able to activate a visible grid for positioning information easier?

Concept:

• color
• size
• strikethrough
• bold
• alignment

Link:

• color

in cases:

• single selected
• multiple selected, with matching properties
• multiple selected, non matching properties
• no selected 
• new elements behavior? (same as configured?) 

Linked Ideas looks amazing for the kind of a thought process I often go through. Usually, I'd use a sticky paper – a small, finite medium that doesn't support editing (naturally) – to make these kinds of links. This would be tremendous to have.

Unfortunately, I can't use it on Windows, 'cause it's a Mac/iOS app. I recognize this is a longshot, but: is it possible for Linked Ideas to be ported to Windows? I know I could run a virtual machine and/or make my laptop a Hackintosh, but – hopefully, it's already clear how much superior a native experience is. Besides, I'm sure I'm not the only one to enjoy what is a promisingly-beneficial tool.

I don't presume you owe doing the additional work of porting the app to anyone, and I recognize that it isn't an easy task. But, on the off-chance that you're interested in making it happen, Linked Ideas sounds like a worthy addition to the small, but growing arsenal of the new generation of minimalist knowledge workers.

Todo:

• multiple select for concepts
• drag to move a single concept
• drag to move multiple concepts
• undo support for moving concept(s)
• on dragging from .canvasWaiting highlight the hovered concepts
• make a branch from the code
• refactor code

• vertical align left
• vertical align center
• vertical align right
• horizontal align
• equal vertical space
• equal horizontal space

In order to fix:

• blurry text on external non-retina screens
• drawing efficiency, when dragging concepts on a retina screen

This means the code won't be able to be shared between iOS and macOS by default

this comes from the content of: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/221/

in particular:

The input field should be aligned and expand as needed until a maximum size, after that it should expand down.

Within the frame that a input field is shown, the text should be drawn in the same way.

TODO

• add autoresizing text field.
  • solve sometimes weird expansion of textfield. problem described in SO
• improve rendered area of text drawn.
• consider drawing of selected markers
• refine positioning between rendered text and text field SO 2

So given two concepts within the canvas, now the objective is to create a link between them.

Basic Algorithm

1. Which Link is Being Created

1. "select" concept A
2. "select" concept B
3. trigger "link creation" to create link between A and B

1.1. How to create a link between concepts with a mouse

• shift+drag from concept A to concept B

1.2. How to create a link between concepts with a keyboard

• ????

2. How to confirm link creation (+add text)

• press ENTER => confirms the creation, saves the link
• press ESCAPE => cancels the link creation, deletes it
• click outside => cancels the link creation
• type text => sets the unsaved link text

Other Considerations

• selecting the link
• editing the text for a link
• deleting a link
• deleting a link when any of its concepts is deleted
• moving the link and link text when any of its concepts is moved

• cmd+t new tab
• ^+cmd+[ switch to tab left
• ^+cmd+] switch to tab right

Hi, I just run the app. All went fine.

But when I click onto some buttons like "Left", "Right", ... it crashes

fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

There are some use of implicitly unwrap optional, like https://github.com/fespinoza/linked-ideas-osx/blob/master/LinkedIdeas/AligmentFunctions.swift#L59

that I think we can improve upon

Cheer 😁

Do you have an instructions file?
