Highlight connections when selecting / clicking a node

Core Development Feature Requests
1

I suggest that when you click a single node all connections are highlighted going in and out. Nothing too fancy just enough to differentiate from all the other connections.

This would assist in tracing rouge or unneeded connections left over from old flows and poor choices.

I've seen similar requests in the past but I'm just hoping for the most basic of solutions if possible. Click a node and all links are clearly visible coming and going to the previous / next node.

Thanks for the consideration, and keep up the great work.

Welcome to the forum @bushlander.

Take a look at https://discourse.nodered.org/t/selecting-up-and-down-stream-nodes-without-backward-forward-traversal/101911

Hold ctrl and:

  • click in the middle of a node selects all connected upstream and downstream
  • click far right of a node selects all connected downstream
  • click far left of a node selects all connected upstream

On Mac this seems to be shift at least on my setup:

When I use the ctrl I just get the context menu.
