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 from the parent. Too many steps. Too many impediments.
My present workaround is to maintain a special note with a storeload of spare New Thoughts named xx. I go in and pin a bunch of them when I need available spontaneous thoughts. But this method requires mass selecting, copying, pasting. Chasing down a floating Thoughts Created message. And individual pinning, unpinning and unlinking of each thought. All of which I gladly endure to avoid the process described in the previous paragraph.
Please, a one-click New Thought, ready for notes. We can press F2 at any time to spontaneously rename it. And no pulsing; it's already active.

Sorry, in third paragraph: workaround is to maintain a special Node, not Note.
