Hey all, simply put I find it frustrating that the graph action menu closes everytime you click on a node to add. I wish I could hold shift or something to click multiple nodes to add or so I can continue searching without going back to the mouse and bringing the menu back up. Also a shortcut for bringing up this menu would be great.
My searches into these existing as settings or hotkeys has come up short. If they exist, wonderful! If not, are things like these possible to be implemented as plugins? From my brief research into plugin development, it doesn’t seem like it would fall neatly into any one of the C++ plugin templates. Any help would be appreciated.
also be aware that TAB also brings up context, so you dont have to go to mouse. If you are a keyboard centric person, i strongly recommend the plugin “blueprint assist”. It makes it so that you can make your blueprints 99% with keyboard only.
All of this info is amazing, thank you so much - these are all game changers. I code normally with vim/vim plugins and a lot of macros and hotkeys so my day to day is generally 90% keyboard if I can help it, so this is all wonderful. Again thanks a ton
Once the above is enabled, the favourite nodes will not only appear in the Palette, but also in the right click Actions Menu and remain Context Sensitive. If you happen to keep searching for the same nodes again and again, consider enabling this feature. Dragging a wire gives you access to the most commonly used stuff that makes sense in this context:
Now you can RMB → Print String like a champ, without typing as nobody ain’t got time for that

i never really use it for placement of nodes on the graph because it seems like extra reaching with the mouse that I hate to do, but sometimes i find it helpful if I’m just wanting to browse a category to see what possibilities exist
