Creating Orphan Thoughts

When you create a thought in your brain, you usually first decide what relationship it will have with an existing thought, but sometimes you just want to create a thought unrelated to an existing thought.

To create a thought independently of other thoughts, use the keyboard shortcut Opt + Cmd + Right Arrow (Mac) or Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow (Windows). This opens an input field where you can name your new Orphan thought, as well as apply any types, tags, or pins before it's created.
