Feature request: Copy/cut & paste node command should copy/cut & paste the entire subtree (including all children nodes)

[vietbui89]

When I use the MarkMind: Copy node command (via Command Palette) and then MarkMind: Paste node, it only copies and pastes the selected node itself.
All its child nodes (subtree/branch) are not copied. They remain only at the original location.

This makes the Copy/Paste feature almost unusable for moving or duplicating a whole branch.

Expected behavior

• Copy node should copy the selected node together with all its descendants (entire subtree).
• Paste node should then insert the full branch under the target node.
• Ideally, there should also be a Cut node command (Copy + Delete original) that works on the whole subtree.

This would allow users to quickly reorganize mind maps using only keyboard (hotkeys), without having to rely on drag & drop with the mouse every time.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a node with several levels of child nodes.
2. Select the parent node.
3. Open Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P) → "MarkMind: Copy node".
4. Select another node as parent.
5. Open Command Palette → "MarkMind: Paste node".
6. Only the single node appears; all children are missing.

Workaround (current)

Only drag & drop the node with mouse works correctly for moving the whole branch.
Copy + Paste via commands does not.

Suggestion

Please expose a proper Copy Subtree / Cut Subtree (i love Cu Subtree) command that includes children nodes, and make them available for hotkey assignment in Obsidian Settings → Hotkeys.

This would greatly improve workflow speed and keyboard-driven usage.

Thank you for developing this powerful mind mapping plugin!

That's it, great, thank you very much, Glad to receive your support, I did it. By the way, let me ask how to use navigation keys or certain hotkeys to point to the search results lines in the "toggle search box" instead of just using the mouse pointer. I can access a node I need to find very quickly this way. [image: image.png] Vào Thứ 7, 4 thg 4, 2026 vào lúc 13:11 mark ***@***.***> đã viết:

Currently, mouse clicks are indeed required

I also second the comment that there should be Cut + paste on top of the current c0py and paste functionality. And when cut a parent node, all the children nodes should be included as well.
