A few but very useful shortcuts

This would allow a user to dump their ideas much faster. While typing in a node:

  • [ ] INS key - Insert a child node
  • [ ] SHIFT+ENTER - Add sibling node
  • [ ] ESC key - exits write mode and select current node

While in node selected mode:

  • [ ] Arrow Keys - navigate nodes
  • [ ] CTRL+Arrow Keys - pan view
  • [x] CTRL+0 - Zoom to Fit

CTRL+0 implemented in 18e2d7a7ff879fd853d2287e642be423b1d1fbdb

Shortcut suggestions:

  • [ ] CTRL + Right Click on edge - Delete edge
  • [ ] CTRL + Right Click on node - Delete node
  • [ ] CTRL + Left Click on node - Works like the button to create a child node, but without the need to target the button. Drag to create the new node or connect edge to another node
  • [ ] Left Click on node - Select node (single node, without rect selection)
  • [x] Middle mouse button click - start selection rectangle, just like Ctrl+LeftClick
  • [ ] Right Click + Drag Mouse - start selection rectangle? While Right Click without dragging mouse opens context menu

Or, instead of the last one, I think it might be worth to replace right-click action, so it starts selection rectangle, instead of menu, if the mouse cursor is NOT hovering over any node or edge.
