   Thanks for the feedback. I ended up having shift-right-click do the default behavior of right-click so atleast theres a workaround.

   Im working on this…its tough. I noticed several webapps make this mistake, like Miro. I think something clever is required since google sheets gets it right.

   Knotend supports copy/paste of subgraphs tosay. I want to also support things like pattern replacement, snippets, autocomplete (that creates nodes not just text in a node). Like a text editor. I agree with your take on the layout. It i

   Are you thinking of AWS step functions? They have a json format I could possibly export to but I haven’t looked deeply into it.

   Do you know of any tools that export to airflow? I’d be happy to implement it. Would you want to write python code in the nodes, or just the names of functions (or modules)?

    I’m still playing around with allowing the keyboard shortcuts to take effect even when editing a node. At the moment they conflict, like the option- prefixed ones. But I agree it could be nice to find a fluid way of doing it because it mean

    In terms of the lines crossing, you’re right I have to work on the algo. It’s just not been something I prioritized because its not often a problem until you get into larger graphs. I’d like to avoid manual layout because I haven’t found a

    I could see adding support for exporting to csv. I’ll if there are any standards to follow.

    Arrows will come. Shapes I'm still figuring out because I don't want it to interfere with the keyboard-centric ux it has right now. It helps to have all nodes be the same shape/size. But there may be some wiggle room to add s

    This is exactly how I prototyped knotend. For some use cases just a spreadsheet is great.

    by escot 4y ago

    I agree, it's needed. It is one of several reasons that I need to rewrite the layout algo for both better positioning of nodes and edges (which makes drawing the arrow heads simpler since they won't overlap each other). In terms o

    Thank you! I made a mistake here by making the keyboard shortcuts a little too sparse on info. I like how some other tools show a little visualization of the key + words describing it. I'll work on it.

    I agree there's no one tool for all possible diagramming cases. Knotend actually isn't geared towards making highly pretty graphs since it uses autolayout. It's specifically for fast editing of a structured graph. For example

    Thanks. If you have any more specifics on accessibility I'd appreciate it. I'd like knotend to be usable 100% from the keyboard, and eventually via screen reader.

    I tried to not override default behavior as much as possible. Maybe I can find a way around this one too. I just found that people naturally right clicked on nodes to do various actions because they're used to doing it in google sheets

    I'd like to support vertical layout, I just found for most the initial use cases that horizontal was the most intuitive. I find that its nice to have child nodes be left aligned with the horizontal layout so you can quickly read them t

    Right now its geared towards right-to-left directed graphs. Probably because most of my use cases have to do with time (like project timelines). So the state machine you mention towards the end isn't an immediate goal because a) it pro
