First you need to create a root node. Simply create an object of your choice using a specific tool (rectangle, ellipse or diamond) from the toolbar at the top of the editor.
To quickly create a sub-node of this root element, press Ctrl/Cmd and press the arrow keys (→←↓↑) in the direction where you want to create the element.
The more times you press the arrow key, the more times the original element (node) will be duplicated.
Press Enter to start typing within the selected node and Esc to exit the text editor.
Move around these nodes by holding down the Opt/Alt key and pressing the arrow key in the direction you want to move.
Repeat the process until you are completely satisfied with your flowchart.
