comma trick cannot be used on existing thoughts - only when generating new
Learned today 25th Jan 12 on webinar the comma trick - brilliant!! - but also learned that it does not work on existing thoughts - only upon generation of new thoughts - big problem for me - to have to go back and re-write thousands of thoughts :-(

@tcahill - it doesn't work for me either (TB v7.0.4.5)

Yes, please, useful trick. Be good to work for editing thoughts after creation. If not it's only 50% useful.

The comma trick does work on existing thoughts. I just did it. I think it always has.

Yes that's a big prob to keep the balance between the efficiency to type/copy in fast new content and to keep the network consistent (free of lots of stupid redundancies).
I suggest that in the customizing I can chose between the traditional inline comma-trick look and feel OR
some new look and feel in a popup-table.
Focused Node: N00
N01 exist already in the network
Input: N1;N2;N3;No
The customizing setting is: New table look and feel for sequential inputs
System response:
N1
N2
N3
(N01) ->N01The last has the suggestion not to duplicate
and instead generate the link to the already existing ->N01.But if I like I can force (via some toggle-button) to duplicate N01 in my network.
OR make it context sensitive N00-N01 (which is also a unique result for my network).Greetings...

Chris, try exporting your brain as xml. Use a text editor to change all occurences of whatever you want to change, and re-import the file. It did the trick for me.
Be sure to create a backup first!
