It would be great if we could set a hot key (like ctrl+g) to group nodes

Another feature that would speed the workflow is some kind of hotkey or automatic way for creating inputs and outputs. Maybe right clicking on the node output and dragging to give the option to connect to an output/input where appropriate. It can get time consuming when setting up a graph. This type of feature could go for other things also. Instead of just output/inputs, it could popup a option box which gives a list of the possibilities for that node.

Thanks!

The CTRL+G is a great idea!

Ever tried the node editor in Unreal Engine 4? There you can grab an input/output, drag to create a line and then when you let go, it creates a popup with the possible nodes that could be correct, then you simply select one. That would be so convenient!

I haven't used it, but saw that feature in a video recently. Couldn't remember which program and wanted to reference it, so I'm glad you mentioned that!
