Hidden node socket on a diet

Hello

when hidding a node and every socket of it, we dont actually use the node, we just have to re open it and then connect what we need to connect, thats why i propose a fusion of every input, strictly on the visual aspect, when the node is hidded.

what do you guys think ? i think this little feature will be important in the future of everything node

Something like this would be better.

It seems to be a good idea, but maybe as an option in the user prefs. Let the user decide what behaviour he prefer.

But in the second case, you should hide the socket, as explained by -LOLock-. Do not let the user believe that he can plug or unplug in that aggregated socket.

* @pcsd24 * agree, user should be able to input anything in the socket if its in this specific mode of hidding

We actually use the node. And if we don't, I'm not sure it's a good idea to fuse the outputs to a single output which looks like we can plug in/out things with while we really shouldn't.
