Thanks, Jon.
I’m using it on an ipad, though. I’m lazy like that.

There is no equivalent?

Apologies, Jon..
I dug up my Apple keyboard to try your tip and realized it was Mind Vector, not X-Mind, that wasn’t linking. I wrote in & am hoping it can be deleted.
Looking at my maps in X-Mind, linking is & has been working fine.

From IS 7/8 to iPad, that’s quite a downgrade I’d say, but then, I always said iPads were for women, so that fits after all, and the little girl of my neighbors got hers at the age of 6… 6 months I mean, her pops had bought it for her, allegedly and in the expectation that then it would be primarily himself who could it when he was, rarely, at home.
But then, oh how wrong he was, the two girls, i.e. the little one and her mum, had commonly decided otherwise, but totally so, but then, he was a very heavy drinker anyway, which, for a Muslim, isn’t that common in the end, Heaven forbid(ing), and so this gave him another pretext to spend his evenings at some local bar, drinking with his friends - not that he really needed that for pretext though, going there 3 evenings a week anyway - now the 2 girls and the iPad have moved in one direction and pops in another one alone…
That being said, I certainly don’t endorse iPads for toddlers, let alone sucklings, in fact I don’t recommend’em for anyone, but I’m the opposition here, and frankly, the fact alone that if you have quite big data, they FORCE you to use some “cloud” (internal overpriced storage limited to 1TB, I think?), appalls me*, not speaking of streamlining (even personal) workflow, and iOS isn’t THAT compatible after all, even in pear, pardon apple, world, or then, for most of your work, you’re downgraded to the very strict minimum. (*=Well, there some quite amusing moments re those very deep matters, e.g. when you extensively read about the various backgrounds and backspaces of the OVH desaster, incl. the fact that even in Western civilisations, just selling phones where “they” cannot hear what you say’s a crime now.)
As for IS, I think it’s quite ironic that the developer came up with his subscription model VERY early, but then, it’s almost a fixed rule that being first doesn’t do any good, and, remember, even Adobe FIRST smashed the competition, THEN enforced their now (in the industries they serve) inescapable law. And yes, trying to integrate “everything” has, for a single developer like the brilliant IS’s one (?), become impossible, so they more and more lack behind, e.g. UR’s web integration - is that some MS core browser of 2000 of which I don’t even remember the name? And with Firefox’s main financier being google-Chrome… Not speaking of the multi-billions-heavy corporations which “after-covid” will overtake all those currently-closed little family or almost family shop businesses…
Remember that some years ago I asked, here, what do they do, those 155 (at the time) alleged EN developers? And we really never knew… So, if iPad “apps” just do some this, some that, who’d expect more?
As for Jarte, another blatant example of bad, really bad psychology beheading your business in the end, since, free and (then) paid versions alike, the default UI certainly has its all-time non-disputed place in the top 5 ugliest and most non-intuitive PC UIs, DOS and Win 3 included, whilst some minutes of tweaking and of trial-n-error will make appear some utterly standard up-n-run software.
Btw, I had used Jarte, with multiple 1-char tabs all open at the same time, for years and as my personal help file (shortkeys and other info for multiple applications), with F1 in any (relevant) application automatically opening the respective Jarte tab, whilst the reason for not buying the full version (was 30 bucks at the time if I remember well) being my disappointment with the alleged Autohotkey integration which, after trialling, appeared to me as a scam: I’d to do it all “from the outside” anyway as before.
That being said: Even the free Jarte version is the best basic rtf editor, and there’s clearly a use for those, since from my experience, MS Word, Atlantis, TextMaker and so on, beyond their “weight”, all bother you with page formatting when you just want an rtf-capable editor; in XP, there also were WordPad Plus, WordTabs and more which today don’t work anymore, another reason to endorse Jarte Plus wholeheartedly… for what it brilliantly is, not for what it unsuccessfully tried to become: https://www.jarte.com/jarte_plus.html - and btw, just lately I read some guy whining about “outlining” with, again, the misconception that outlining was that infamous Harvard outlining, i.e. the one they abused you with in school, the 1-point-a-line, without even a hint of “meat” in-between, and which makes you MISS the details, and Jarte Plus (“AutoOutline”) and others try to help out a little better than just that, but they simply ain’t sexy… and not powerful enough when compared to the heavyweights…
And that’s more or less the essence of the iPad problem, too, with the difference that over there, “apps” at least look pretty, then and again…
Oh, and speaking of real work, the Germans always have got their 16,000 bags with Eastern secret police paper shreds which rot in their moist basements… and for the heck of’em, even 33 years after the facts, they don’t find a working scanner, world-wide, so when I think of that billion of iPads, some even in the hands of real men, and of technically (only) possible “community efforts”... - they pretend they have got the necessary software already, thanks to AI, and really, believe them:
It’s just the necessary hardware they lack! Promised! Hahahahahahaha!
