Link Nodes Using the Keyboard

You can use the keyboard to add and link nodes. Use the following steps:

  1. Use the Tab button to navigate into the Nodes tree.
  2. Use the down arrow key to select a category in the tree.
  3. Use the Enter button or the left arrow key to expand the category in the tree.
  4. Use the down arrow key to select the node to add.
  5. With the selected node highlighted, use the Shift+Tab buttons to select the Add Node icon.
  6. Select the Enter button.
  7. The selected node appears on the diagram.
  8. Using the arrow keys, move it to the preferred location.
  9. While the node icon is still highlighted, use the Tab button to navigate to the Node Connections tab at the bottom of the application window. You might need to use the arrow keys to navigate between the tabs at the bottom of the window.
  10. Once you are in the Node Connections panel, use the Tab button to select the Add Node button on either the Connect from or the Connect to sections. Select Enter.
  11. The Add Nodes window is displayed. A list of nodes that the new node can be connected to or from is displayed. Select one and use the Tab button to move focus to the OK button. Select Enter.
  12. A line linking the two nodes appears.

Note Note: In the Add Nodes window, you can only select the first or last item in the list, so a best practice is to add and link the nodes at the same time to limit the available nodes.
