Let's talk about increasing speed & productivity in Blueprint.

Yeah I think this might be more difficult to do than first appears. But, it seems to me that just adding more keyboard control options and making the context sensitive menu a lot smarter could go a long way to giving the functionality you want.

Through a combination of typing node names and control keys/shortcuts, it should be possible to build up a series of nodes, with connections, without taking fingers from the keyboard. It would take some smart design to make it natural to use, but would probably be a lot easier than a full on editable text representation.

I totally support this idea - it is easier to do but definitely improves a lot of blueprint experience. The points are:-

  1. Possible to do blueprint without using mouse (just keyboard).
  2. Much better context sensitive pull-down.
  3. Easier for EPIC to implement (I think so).
