There is this behaviour that was really convenient of the (+) button that popped up when highlighting or selecting with the “Select tool” on MarginNote 2. When dragged onto an existing node, the note would append itself to the node and not become its child. In MarginNote 3, it just creates a child.
It was especially useful when highlighting different section of a paragraph that is spanned onto different pages, for example. Or to add more content to a review card. The Framework layout could be used for this, but it would span different review cards instead of a single one.
I know you can just select a parent node and their children and Merge, but if you could add an “append to” option, it would be great.
I also preferred it when dragging a highlighted text to a node would merge it to the node instead of creating a child. This feels like something that should be configurable to the user’s preference.
As @Jun mentioned, MN support to change the Drag n Drop behavior with excerpt. Need to be clear the Condition Precedent to the option:
Only selected text without color（not been highlighted） could be drag n drop in the set way, so:
1，Turn off lock excerpt color shortcuts
2, Turn off Drag to excerpt…
On Mac, I can’t find anything about setting the behavior of dragging one item onto another item. It’s really essential to be able to merge vs create a child quickly and easily.
I think it was at least on iPad that we used to be able to drag an item onto the left side vs the right side of another item to either merge or add a child. We really need to be able to do this!
–really not discoverable!
