Here's the docstring for the quickMove updated plugin. Really it supported
bookmarks and tags before, but now it has the `Set Parent` functionality to
make its buttons into sub-menu items, which makes using it with large numbers
of bookmarks/tags more practical.
Create buttons to quickly move nodes to other nodes
Quickly move/copy/clone nodes from around the tree to one or more target nodes.
It can also create
bookmark and tagging functionality in an outline (see `Set Parent Notes`_
below).
Adds `Move/Clone/Copy To Last Child Button` and `Move/Clone/Copy To First Child
Button`, `Link To/From` and `Jump To` commands to the Move sub-menu on the
Outline menu, and each node's context menu, if the `contextmenu` plugin is
enabled.
Select a node ``Foo`` and then use the `Move To Last Child Button` command.
This adds a 'to Foo' button to the button bar. Now select another node and click
the 'to Foo' button. The selected node will be moved to the last child
of the node 'Foo'.
`To First Child Button` works the same way, except that moved nodes are inserted
as the first child of the target node.
`Clone` and `Copy` variants are like `Move`, but clone or copy instead of
moving.
`Link` works in conjunction with the `backlink` plugin (and also the
`graphcanvas` plugin) creating a link to/from the target and current nodes.
`Jump` buttons act as bookmarks, taking you to the target node.
You can right click on any of these buttons to access their context menu:
Goto Target
takes you to the target node (like a `Jump` button).
Make Permanent
makes the button permanent, it will reappear
when the file is saved / closed / re-opened.
Set Parent
allows you to move buttons to sub-menu items of other
`quickMove` buttons. This implicitly makes the moved button
permanent. It also causes the moved button to lose its context menu.
Remove Button
comes from the `mod_scripting` plugin, and just
removes the button for the rest of the current session.
Set Parent Notes
----------------
`Set Parent` doesn't allow you to do anything with `quickMove` you couldn't
do with a long strip of separate buttons, but it collects quickMove buttons
as sub-menu items of one quickMove button, saving a lot of toolbar space.
Bookmarks
Create somewhere out of the way in your outline a node called
`Bookmarks`. Use the quickMove menu to make it a `Jump To` button, and use its
context menu to make it permanent. There is no particular reason to jump to
it, but it needs to be a `quickMove` button of some kind.
Now, when you want to bookmark a node, first use the quickMove menu to make
the node a `Jump To` button, and then use the context menu on the button to
set its parent to your `Bookmarks` button. It becomes a sub-menu item
of the `Bookmarks` button.
Tags
In conjunction with the `backlinks` plugin you can use `quickMove` to
tag nodes. The `backlinks` plugin adds a `Links` tab to the `Log pane`.
Create somewhere in your outline a node called `Tags`. Use the quickMove menu
to make it a `Jump To` button, and use its context menu to make it permanent.
Clicking on it will jump you to your tag list. Now create a node under the
`Tags` node for each tag you want. The node's name will be the tag name, and
can be changed later. Then use the quickMove menu to make each of these nodes
a `Link To` button, and then use the context menu on the button to set its
parent to your `Tags` button. It becomes a sub-menu item of the `Tags` button.
To see the tags on a node, you need to be looking at the `Links` tab in the
`Log pane`. To see all the nodes with a particular tag, click on the `Tags`
button to jump to the tag list, and select the node which names the tag of
interest. The nodes with that tag will be listed in th `Links` tab in the
`Log pane`.
