Mindmap like plugin system in Np++ |feature request|

I wrote it here:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19333/mindmap-like-system-in-np-feature-request

I would like to propose a node system in Np++ which would allow to write nodes like this.
It doesn’t need heavy graphical UI. Only a way to present functional parent/child tree system which are mindmaps.
For example, I would like to write this with some entries written as paragraphs.
It’s hard to write such using only spacebar because when you go deeper in the tree, you loose understanding what is parent what’s child.

          ->Centrifugal-> ...
          -> Gravity ->

Not sure why you had to open a new thread to discuss the same thing.

I say, you’ve got a spec for it, go ahead and make it yourself (as a plugin obviously).

Report back here with publishing details and it can be added to the list in Plugins Admin

Why not just use the software from your screenshot? Why does it have to be in N++?

Sounds like an XY problem.

Cheers.

I really like writing in N++.
I usually write some text (parent) then use indent for new paragraph(child) to denote that this is connected to the first paragraph.

The problem occurs when you want to have more parents-child connections.

I don’t need UI.

I wonder if this could be done without rich text format and without UI like in Xmind.

If I’m correct, isn’t it basically a treeview??

Yes, it is a tree as abstract structure.

So why not using something like this?
