Add an option to simply deactivate the animations and keep the outline view permanently expanded (while allowing for manual expanding/collapsing of branches as desired), instead of automatically collapsing all other thoughts whenever a subthought is made active. Basically, working ALL THE TIME way it works when the root thought is active.

The Mind Map view sort of works like this, except it willy-nilly switches thoughts between right and left to "maintain visual balance", which is also not configurable.

So what I'm looking for is the strict left-to-right orientation of the Outline View (which is great) plus the stability of the Mind Map view (which is also great!)

As it is now, it's a bit maddening, like trying to work with a file system where the files dance around like moths while you're trying to look at them. So much thought was given to options like fine-tuning the animation speed, which is great, but the much simpler option to disable it entirely was neglected!
