Freely placeable nodes and improved Markdown formatting

[TomfromBerlin]

Hi there.
First of all, I have to say: what a wonderful piece of software! Simple and intuitive to use. The shortcuts are well-defined and easy to remember. Great!

What I'm missing is the ability to freely (manually) place nodes, even if they are already connected. This would allow for a more flexible and space-saving layout of the mind map, without having to break existing connections and reconnect nodes after rearranging them. Perhaps this function could be activated with a toggle switch.

I've also noticed that the Markdown support doesn't seem to be entirely complete. When I insert a string with underscores, the characters within the two underscores are displayed in italics, which is fine. However, if I add backticks to a code snippet or code string, the character formatting remains italic, and the code block or string is not formatted as code.

To explain: I started using Minder while developing a modular Zsh plugin, which I think was a brilliant idea (i mean using Minder, not developing the Plugin). This way, I maintain a better overview of which scripts should or need to be called at what time. The script names have the following format:
pluginname_script_name (where "script_name" is a descriptive name that can contain multiple words separated by underscores).

I know this is nitpicking, but it would be nice if it displayed correctly, because I'm considering publishing the mind map on GitHub upon release (of course, mentioning that I used Minder to create it 😉).

Minder does have a manual layout mode that is accessible from the Map sidebar tab. Selecting the first layout option will put the mindmap into manual layout mode, allowing you to drag nodes to your chosen locations.

As for the Markdown issue, I would consider that to be a bug. Could you create an issue for this?

I have gone ahead and created a GitHub issue for the Markdown problem. A fix has been applied in the development branch which will be generally available in the upcoming 2.0 version of Minder.
