@Ads You are correct, it does not appear to be possible to emulate Ctrl + click-and-drag from a touchscreen device. Surely it would be possible for Miro to come up with a solution to accomplish this, so I would just that you create a Wish List post to request this functionality. Who knows - it may already be in the works and had just not been deemed a MMF (Minimum Marketable Feature).

@Ads I should confirm terminologies. The main/center of the Mind Map is the Root node. Each node directly connected to the Root nodes are called Parent nodes. And ALL nodes coming off of Parents, no matter now many, are referred to Child nodes:

With that being said, yes, as we have learned, we cannot detach and reattach Child nodes. However, as you may have already discovered, you can move Parent nodes on touchscreen devices. This may have been obvious to you, but I still wanted to clarify. For me, on my Android device, I have to tap a Parent node once to select it and then tap-and-hold to be able to move it:

Hi Rob thanks, yes indeed it is the moving of child nodes and changing their join line to a different child or parent node that appears to be impossible, just because there is no CTRL key to be pressed and held.  Its odd as it seems such a simple thing to make work, but I’ve seen other posts asking and no answer be given.  Miro can you resolve this??

If you post this request in the Wish List category, you'll have my vote!

Hi @Ads and @Rob Johnson,

Thank you very much for the feedback! Yes, it’s not great user experience and we are fixing it. In this Q you’ll be able to reassign Mind Map nodes both on mobile and tablet apps.

Feel free to ask questions.

Thanks for the update, @Tolya Filippov! If you want some feedback on the updated experience and can push out by Miro account or want to provide a link to a board where I can try it out, do DM me.
