deserves.
Some requests:
1.
I would like the option of pasting non-hierarchically. This means that
if I cut or copy some nested cells, that therefore contain leading
spaces, normally TS will paste them as nested cells. I want the option
to paste them as plain text in the body of the cell rather than
creating "nest grids." Otherwise I must strip the leading spaces
before pasting into TS.
Or does it already exist? You removed some functionality like this
before my time and said that it was possible to cut/copy-paste
manually to do it, but I can't see how to paste without recreating a
hierarchy unless I do it one cell at a time or manually remove the
leading spaces in each cell to be pasted.

I hope you can soon add some more standard behavior:
2a.
"Search" (Ctrl+f):
That:
Ctrl+f selects any existing text already present in the Search box;
if the cursor is there and the text not selected, that Ctrl+a would
select that text;
Home and End work in the Search box;
--
2b.
Ctrl+y "Redo".

Icon usability:
I like that a cell containing an icon but no text can be pasted
without destroying existing content in the target cell.
I want to use icons to label different classes of entries, e.g. in a
journal, to label entries as "Urgent," "Archive," etc., and I may want
to change the icon while keeping the text constant. I can set up a
little grid with an icon in each cell, an icon corral, and then paste
the icon of my choice into a cell with content without destroying that
existing content, other than a possibly preexisting icon.
Features I'd like to see:
FreePlane allows user-settable time for delayed selection by
mouseover. This means that I can change the focus by mousing without
clicking. By adjusting the delay to my speed of work, I avoid
inadvertent selections. Those clicks add up, and works goes more
quickly and intuitively without them.

Using the keyboard to navigate is somewhat limited. I would like to
have the option of going down into, and up out of, a nested grid.
Maybe Alt+arrow?

Let's hope so :)

You're right, you can't do this right now. Though if you were able to,
you wouldn't preserve that formatting anyway, i.e. it be all one
continuous text. Is that what you want?
TreeSheets was never meant for having longer formatted text inside a cell.

That was probably something else.

I'll see if I can make those work.

A popular request, and a big one. This will definitely have to wait
until the release after.

You're right, that must have been lazyness. Will add.

That's currently already taken by "select first child".

That would be very non-standard behavior. I could of course make it an
option, but I am trying to ensure I don't just add a bunch of options
for single users. I will have a feature voting site up soon.
