Select node without clicking?

Post by Corelius »

If I want to know what the current values for a Curves node are, is there a way to select that node (so the values show up in the Output and Input boxes) without clicking on it?

Maybe needless to say, the problem with having to click on the node is that it's very difficult to click on a node without simultaneously moving it.

Is there a keyboard method for selecting a node? Or another way to get those current values to display without having to click on any nodes?

Yes with an asterisk.

Page Up and Page Down will select the node, but you need to move the node for the output and input dialogs to update. So you'd hit Page Up or Down to get to the node you want, then do a quick Up arrow and down arrow moving the node out of place and then back to get the values to update in the UI. Little annoying as you're technically causing the problem you wanted to avoid. But it's pretty fast.
