A node is selected when it is clicked on. This will deselect anything currently selected. The Information Sidebar will update to show the node’s properties and help text for its type.
If the Ctrl
or Command
key is held when clicking on the node, the node will
be added to the current selection (or removed if it was already selected).
If the Shift
key is held when clicking on the node, it will select that node
and all other nodes it is connected to.
A wire is selected when it is clicked on. Unlike nodes, it is only possible to select one wire at a time.
The lasso tool can be used to select multiple nodes. It is enabled by click-dragging on the workspace.
It cannot be used to select a wire.
To select all nodes on the current flow, ensure the workspace has focus and then
press Ctrl/Command-a
.
