Ghost cursor
Completed
OK - latest update solves the key command conflict, and zooming works with ctrl-> and ctrl-<
However, there is a problem with the cursor disappearing from the zoomed items (which is not new btw)
If I cursor the beginning of a childless item and zoom in using the key command, the item ceases to be active and the cursor is not evident. Nor can I down-arrow to make the newly created child item active - the cursor is simply deactivated universally.
If I cursor the middle or end of a childless item and zoom in, the item remains active.
I want WF to behave such that cursored items remain active on both sides of the zoom operation irrespective of where they are cursored beforehand, allowing me to get out of there or activate/create children at will using the normal key commands.
As it is, I often have to manually cursor the item or items to be zoomed out of, and this disrupts the flow of work quite a lot more than it sounds like. I'm so used to ctrl-arrow zooming, that to have it not work and then remembering I forgot to cursor the line manually gets old really quickly.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lee
Great, thanks!
Cursor remains active which is sweet.
In the case of zooming in to a childless item, my suggestion would be to place the cursor at the beginning of the child, where the + sign currently is.
My thinking here is that it's possible to edit the childless item and add a note at its previous zoom level, without making it a top level item. So the main purpose of zooming in to a childless item would be to make it the top level of new items. Having the cursor automatically go to the start of a new item would allow writing to begin immediately, saving a manual return or cursor reposition.
