Selecting Nodes

Nodes in the editor can be selected and manipulated. Selections determine which nodes can be moved, duplicated, or connected. The active node (last selected) is highlighted with a lighter outline. It serves as the reference for certain operations, such as grouping or linking, and also determines which properties are displayed in the Sidebar and Properties Editor.

Nodes are selected with LMB. Multiple nodes can be selected by holding Shift-LMB.

Blender also provides a variety of selection tools and shortcuts for quickly choosing nodes based on their type, connections, or layout.

Menu(メニュー):

ショートカットキー:

Find Node

参照

Menu(メニュー):

Select ‣ Find Node

ショートカットキー:

Ctrl-F

Opens a search pop-up to quickly locate and select a node within the current node tree. Nodes can be searched by name, socket label, warning messages, or certain socket values such as strings and data-block references.

Once a match is selected, the editor view automatically pans and centers on the found node, highlighting it for easy access.

This operator is especially useful in large node trees for navigating complex networks efficiently.
