Add text to a line in OmniGraffle
If I have a line or arrow connecting two objects, how do I get a piece of descriptive text attached to that line? If I move the line, the text should follow.

Option + Double-click
Hold Option/ALT while double-clicking on the line to add a label to it.
If this maneuver instead creates a point to adjust the line from, double-click without Option/ALT. You can swap between Option/ALT-double-click (a) creating a point and (b) creating a label via a setting in Preferences → Drawing Tools → Line Editing.
Also, the documentation mentions clicking on the line while using the Text tool.

Worked, thanks. Tip: After adding text, you can drag the text along the line to change its position.
