If you prefer to work in another browser like Safari or iCab, just add an iThoughts bookmarklet to instantly send the current page as a new node on the iThoughts pasteboard.
Or tap and hold on an image to insert it as a new topic or floating image. Tap and hold on a link to add it to the currently open map. The browser opens and immediately performs a search on the topic text. Research mode is an in-app browser with customizable search engines (configurable in the settings app).
In iThoughts HD for iPad, access the research mode by tapping on a node: With support for hyperlinks and text notes on each node in iThoughts, it also makes a great research tool. I use the Send to App… function and the OPML document directly to iThoughts, which is automatically converted to a new context map. If I’m working in an outlining app on iOS that supports OPML export, such as OmniOutliner, it’s extremely easy to generate a new context map in iThoughts.
Tap the “+” icon to create a new map and choose the Based Upon… option: Once the text is on the clipboard, it can be pasted into the current map as a new branch or create a new document with the pasteboard contents. The lines are automatically converted to new nodes and indents are evaluated as child nodes. I create a plain text outline in any other iOS app and then copy and paste into iThoughts. For example, I also like to work in plain text lists and so do my collaborators. While iThoughts is a joy for quickly getting ideas and information into a structured layout, sometimes circumstances dictate another app or format. Importing Data: Making Diamonds from Dust If you’ve never explored the file import and export options in iThoughts, then you are in for a treat. They are utilities for getting your ideas down and then out to somewhere else. IThoughts for iOS and Mac are not just about making beautiful context maps. I also use it on my iPhone and Mac and sync everything through Dropbox. I use more than almost any other app on my iPad. All of the ideas and words in this article are mine. This article is about a sponsor's product. iThoughts is my go-to context mapping software because it works and does so much more than make a pretty map. Thanks to iThoughts for sponsoring Macdrifter this week.
