In addition to the reasons and Franktech have already mentioned [which I also do myself], I often work by laying down reroute nodes before wired connections are already made because I have an idea how I want to organize my nodes before actually dropping them in. Having to create the connection and then double click on it actually makes this way of working much less efficient.
However, that said, I’ve discovered since creating this post that both Print String and Reroute can be added to the favorites menu. For me, this is an acceptable solution that doesn’t require any more fuddling around with the .ini files (which always makes me a bit nervous).
Thanks for the help!
