I really like the way you implemented the "drag to create a branch" mechanic, it feels very natural. Did you come up with that yourself? Have you seen it elsewhere?

As cool as the red drop drag is, implementing some standard keys for this will help those who do a lot of mind mapping from the keyboard only.

Other than that, looks good so far.

You can press INS to create a new node. Basically, most actions are accessible via the keyboard. Just hover over the toolbar buttons, the hint text contains the shortcut.

edit: As pointed out there are no INS keys on macbooks. Will change this to TAB key ASAP.

Didn't seem to notice them in chrome - maybe I didn't hover long enough? I don't have an INS on my macbook pro keyboard. :(
