show notes for parent & child while mouse on link
Very often I split the note content between parent and child. Sometimes don't even know where to put exactly what part of the information. So only viewing both together gives the "full picture" what I want to remember. Would be perfect, if even the link could have a note.

Provide the ability to create / use thought templates
This will allow the user to more rapidly create common (for them) thoughts and thought hierarchies.
The thought template would allow specification of standard display settings, type setting, tags, labels, and even standard child, jump, or parent thoughts.
When a new thought is created, the user will have the additional option of selecting a template to use when generating the thought(s). However, if the default option is sufficient they need do nothing more than what is currently done.
It would be nice to be able to specify the default thought template.

Useability fixes
Add options to right click menu (on a thought) to copy its Thought type or its tags for pasting into another thought (to add or replace in the case of tag(s))
Change the Thought type selection mechanism on the right click menu so that a combo box for thought type selection opens instead of a hard to use submenu.0 votes -

Option to hide tags for "distant thoughts"
See: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6009/20081231035600ym4.png
The tags on "distant thoughts" make them almost unreadable. It would be nice if there was an option in Preference to "Hide tags for distant thoughts".

synonyms or keywords attached to thought
Each time I don't find a thought immediately I wish add the synonym or keyword that did not find it.
But adding to its name makes the name not very handy for other purposes.
What about an additional field like Label where we could enter as many related words as we want. And quick search reports on them.
Alternative that I have to use up to now is: defining a jump thought with all the words in its name and giving it a distinct type or tag like "keywords".1 vote -

Quick parent links on right click
Just as a thought can be easily Tagged or Typed on a right click, Brain should allow the user to select from a group of Parent thoughts. The user would maintain a list of the most needed Parent nodes, changeable with the day's project. Saves a lot of navigating and attaching gates when you have a bunch of imported thoughts to categorize and file, or any stack of items, books, quotes or ideas to add efficiently to your Brain.

Allow adding a "checkbox" to a thought via right-click menu
Allow a checkbox icon to be added/removed from a thought via right-click menu! This would be very useful in "checking" off tasks or any other items where you want want to quickly see the ideas/tasks/thought-chains/etc. you have already explored or acted on.
This feature can be simply added or removed via the right click menu for any thought that needs it.6 votes -
Instant Search on labels
Currently we can Instant Search on thought names and tags, and tags have higher priorities than thought names.
If we could also Instant Search on labels, it would be great. And I think the priorities of labels should be lower than that of thought names, because usually alternative names are put into the labels.

Allow voice dictation to work in personal brain
Currently I am unable to use voice dictation from Windows Vista Ultimate to enter anything in personal brain. Whatever mechanism is being used in the java text entry, it is not allowing voice text dictation. This generally works in everything else I've tried. This would greatly increase the speed which thoughts could be added to the brain!
8 votesIn 5.0, I believe this should work for search as well as creating thoughts.

Custom sort order for Active Thought in Normal View
Please add an "Arrange By" thought property to set the ordering of a thought's children whenever that thought is the Active Thought in Normal View. This property should offer the same choices as the global "Arrange By" option, plus "Use global Arrange By".
When this property is not set for a given thought, it will default to "Use global Arrange By".
This request has appeared in the forums but usually in the context of other "Arrange By" topics, so I thought it might benefit from a clear statement separate from other requests.
This should be reasonably easy to implement as…

Highlight recently modified/activated thoughts in Plex
It would be very nice if PB provides the following options:
- Highlight thoughts "modified" in the past [n minutes / n days];
- Highlight thoughts "activated" in the past [n minutes / n days];
- Highlight last [0 or n] "modified" thoughts;
- Highlight last [0 or n] "activated" thoughts;

Make Extended Search totally independent of Instant Search
Sharing the same search field and Search button between 2 quite different search methods can be confusing and counterproductive.

Save Expanded Views as attachments
It would be very nice if Expanded Views could be saved as attachments, and each thought could have one or more Expanded Views attached.

Lesso select and move "a group" in Extended View
It is great to allow save the extended view. However, when the view needs large amount of re-position, it will be great to be able to lesso select a group of thoughts and move them together (maintaining their relative relation within group) so that user doesn't need to move them one by one.
Or after selection, the thoughts can be grouped so that their relation will never change until un-grouped.
Lesso select may also be implement to do the multiple selection. Current Ctrl select one-by-one is really inefficient to manipulate large number of thoughts.

Maintain an available New Thought in Pin Area at all times
That way, the user can just click on it to begin adding notes for the new thought, and then rename it and link it around.
There are a couple of requests on file that express annoyance with the current process of creating a thought. Since it's based on creating a Child, it implies you've already navigated to the correct Parent. Then it compels you to name it before you express it. Not spontaneous. That pulsating green orb upon creation is the worst. Then it's a stored option to determine whether you've yet activated the new Thought, or must still navigate…
