> It would be great if we could select a wire and disable it. Sometimes you want to test a different route without deleting the wires. Being able to disable them would be very useful.

Would be very useful to disable a connection rather than having to delete it, and users have wanted it for years. Ideally it’d just display with a dashed line as normal.

I didn’t understand why this Feature Request was marked solved…? It ain’t possible yet so it ain’t solved
