Use Quick add
Add a compatible next node from a handle or the selected node without searching the full palette.
Quick add narrows the catalog to nodes compatible with the connection you started.
Open from a handle
Drag from a control or data handle into empty canvas space. Quick add opens for that specific handle and connection kind.
Search or move through the suggested nodes, open help if needed, then choose a candidate. The editor adds the node and creates the valid connection.
Open with the keyboard
Select one node on the canvas and press Tab. Quick add uses the first available unconnected handle. If no suitable handle or candidate exists, the menu does not invent an invalid connection.
Use Arrow keys to move through options, Enter to choose, and Escape to close.
Understand suggestions
Suggestions respect mode, plan availability, active ports, connection kind, and data compatibility. The editor can suggest a Field node when a structured value must be reduced before reaching a scalar input.
Review the new node configuration and run validation after adding it.
