![]() ![]() For example you can’t put the “render layers” node in a node group. Note that all node types cannot be grouped together. Simply select the nodes that you want to group together and hit ctrl+G. By grouping several nodes together it is like combining them so that they appear to be just a single node. Grouping nodes together allows you to simplify your node trees. If you want to reopen a collapsed node, simply hit H again. To do that, simply select the node and hit H on your keyboard and the node inputs will no longer be visible. Sometimes you want to collapse a node so that it takes less space. If you want to cut a node connection, hold down control and the right mouse button and drag over the connection line. Cut a node connection: ctrl+rightclick-drag If you want to quickly connect a node’s output to the viewer node to see the result of the node, just hold down shift and control and left-click on the node you want to connect. Connect a node to the viewer: ctrl+shift+leftclick To make a duplicate of the selected node(s), just hit shift+D on the keyboard. If you need to zoom out of the backdrop image to see it completely, just hit V on the keyboard. If you want to delete a node in the middle of a node tree and automatically connect the node that came before the deleted node to the node where the deleted node was connected to, simply hit ctrl+X to delete the node from between. Just like you would expect, hitting X on the keyboard will delete the selected node(s). In that case you can easily mute a node by selecting it and hitting M on your keyboard. Sometimes you just want to see the results of a node tree without a certain node. ![]() If you want to search for the name of the node instead of browsing through the categories, hit s immediately after hitting shift+a and it will take you to the search bar. Add new node and search immediately: shift+A, then S If you want to immediately enter the search mode, read about the next shortcut below. Just like you can add new objects with shift+a, the same shortcut also works for adding new nodes. These basic node related keyboard shortcuts should work in all of the Node editors in Blender including material nodes, the compositor and geometry nodes. Being able to work efficiently with different kinds of nodes in Blender is becoming increasingly important. ![]()
