Hi Luca,


thanks for continuing to share your experiences! I'm looking into it and 
at least some minor findings I hopefully fixed, see below. Though issue 
tickets on github would be easier  to track ;-)

In general I use RichText for headings rarely, the plain text is easier 
to colorize (F1-F10) and edit within the MapEditor (just press 
Return-key to start/finish editing)

I continue to look into your reports, might take a while. I would not 
recommend to go back to 2.6.11 from 2017, too many bugfixes and features 
missing there. And yes, file format has change in the mean time.

Some hints on zooming/editing, should also apply to 2.6.x, if I remember 
correctly:


With "A" new branches are added, new branch should have plain text and 
be in view, inline LineEditor within map. I just saw the "jumping" out 
of visible area, but cannot really reproduce it. This would be another 
but :-(

In the default setting the selection jumps back to *parent* after adding 
a new item.

For editing "Return" key is used (see above)


"," is the shortcut to center and reset view, "." to only center (and 
pan out, if required)

Hope that helps
Uwe



P.S.: If you build vym locally and want to test, you can use the "-l" 
option, so that vym looks for macros, defaults, etc. relative to current 
directory instead of /usr/share/packages/...
