as mind map user I like to jot idea with parent, children, sibling hierarchy.

I am not satisfied with the present method of creating the three above as need to do a lot of adjustments ex option+ enter to create a new sibiling then ,Shift+<, or Shift+> to adapt the sibiling as a parent or sub. As I am in a creative process would like a faster way to achieve this.

For long list of sibilings I resolved writing in plain text the list and then shift+V and jjjj to select the list and then i launch toggle-heading, but this does not work if I add myself spaces in the plain text.

Please do you know a fast way to open a parent/children/sibiling node, I see a shortcut could be a solution, but do not know if is a good idea because should combine more commands

I don't know about your brainstorming process.

When I do brainstorming, I don't arrange the items in the initial phase. Instead, I create a list item, write my idea, press C-RET for the next item, write down the idea and so forth.

This results in an unordered list of ideas.

Only after finishing this brainstorming phase, I start moving items around.

Therefore, I don't get distracted by order, commands, styling, arrangement, priorities, ... in the brainstorming phase.

After I've ordered the items, I may convert the simple list to headings using C-u C-* (AFAIR).
