Dragging several cards: Drag a square around the to be selected cards (with the left-mouse-button) and move select cards simultaneously.

Change the shape of several cards or unmark selected cards: If the Ctrl-key is pressed and a card is selected with the left mouse button, then it is marked. At renewed selection it is unmarked again. Clicking on a shape-symbol on the left side, changes the shape of all cards marked with the Ctrl-key + left mouse button.

Mark nearly all cards: First mark all cards (Ctrl+A) and then unmark several cards with Ctrl+left-mouse-button

Make all marked cards in one color: mark one or more cards, then click on your preferred color (at the bottom of the program).

Skillfully use of alignment functions: Adjusting right-angled corner lines mark to be aligned cards and use the alignment functions functions. Do not forget the corner points of corner lines (= invisible cards).

Draw “round catch-everywhere-lines”: If you keep the ALT-key pressed during “line dragging”, you may quickly draw a corner line or a “round catch-everywhere-lines”: If you release the right mouse button within a free spot on the drawing panel, a corner is drawn. If you release the right mouse button within a card, then a “round catch-everywhere-lines” is drawn.

Create space for Brainstorming: Sometimes during brainstorming hardly any sufficient place is available to insert another card at a certain place. Maybe you wish to shove the surrounding cards aside. This is possible with the shortcut Ctrl+B or the menu-item "Explode in all directions". To do this, just mark a card around which place shall be made. Then choose the Shortcut Ctrl+B (or menu-item). Result: The surrounding cards are slid (respectively 1/4 of the length of the highlighted card in x direction and 1/4 of the length of the highlighted card in y direction). If you only wish this vertically or horizontally, you choose Ctrl + Shift + V or Ctrl + Shift + G.
The reverse is also possible, just press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+G or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V.

Using Easy-Maps in other applications: Convert Easy-Maps to an PNG-Image to use them in other applications. This feature is located in the menu under file > Export as PNG-Image. Then paste it into other applications with Ctrl+V.

Draw cards with the keyboard very fast: Click on to and the arrow-keys to draw vertically or horizontally. If you hold down the Ctrl-key before you press the arrow key a line will connect the cards.
