![]() I defined a pair of Keyboard Maestro hot key combinations to mark completion and unmark it. iThoughts supports tasks and the notion of completion. They’re actually to signal we’ve completed that piece of the recording. With a legend I can dispense with this child node and tidy up. ![]() 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. 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. 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). We actually have a template for our podcast episodes, which I copy into a new outline. Finally you’ll want to put some text in the box. ![]() You also want to set its colour using the colour palette, and those of the “in the tree” topics you want to match it. You can change the shape to a square as I have done. 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). Namely when I’m abusing mind maps to show, for example, which CICS regions connect to a particular DB2 subsystem. So this is a kind of legend, describing the colour coding of the nodes.īut there are other times when I want a legend. The idea for the green is that we share with the guest the outline by screen sharing when recording (over Skype) and they can concentrate on just their bit. Green is for “This is where the guest comes in”. ![]() Blue is for “Yes, we will do this bit in this episode”.Over to the left you see a set of coloured boxes. So we’ve started to colour code the nodes. You’ll see some of the nodes are filled (arguably) blue, others red and still others green. □Ĭonsider the following fragment of an outline: This is in case you’re inclined to play with newer toys. I’ve developed quite a nice technique for iThoughtsX (the macOS flavour), which I’ll share with you. As I’ve indicated elsewhere we use iThoughts for outlining our podcast episodes (and use it to track completion). ![]()
