I was going to make a feature request to be able to disable a set of selected nodes but it I then thought

1. Is that going to be available with up-coming group mode?

2. Maybe it can be done already?

Pretty sure it's already there - it's definitely in the dev branch, can't remember when it was added, so could already be in 1.0.x.

Bring up the Action list from the menu and search for 'disable'. You will also be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
