Reroute Node Platform

UE 4 example GIF.

  • Reroute node have something like platform so it can be catched and moved by mouse cursor.

Blender current GIF.

  • Reroute node can't be moved by mouse. It possible only by pressing G to move or as part of multiselection with other nodes. Sometimes it's very annoying...

As always - thanks for reading. Also you can check my other suggestions .

Right click select doesn't have this problem

* @Rey Leonard * But I don't use RMB as select. I remap it for deselect instead :)

Lauloque

* @Rey Leonard * And other software use left click select AND don't have this issue. Because the day they see one coming, they solve it in a clever way that make sense. Not by throwing away a basic standard and expecting everyone to like it.

good lord I just tried to use reroute nodes and this is really annoying, they're useless to me until this is fixed

Pascal

For me, i don't need all the fancy Selection tools in the node Editor, B for box selecting is fine.. The tweak tool does all the job just needs to change to actually tweak when click drag instead of box selecting but your propsal is suggesting to add a hidden hitbox around the node so when move it shows up,right?.

(copying here my feedback from devtalk) Nuke does this very well : the reroute itself can be dragged like any other node, and connecting it is done by dragging either one of the little arrows that are attached to it.

Here's a example (link to exact time in the video) : youtu.be/XQ5OIdY2-ZQ
