Auto wire is very convenient most of the time. Sometimes, however, something like this happens:
To avoid that, you either need to place the second node very far away and move it back, or manually delete the wires, which can be a pain. Especially considering you see the wires it's going to add while you're dragging it, but have no way to tell LabVIEW you don't want them other than deleting them manually. It would be nice to be able to hold a key down to temporarily disable this feature.
But what if you don't notice it's going to place a wire until you've already placed it? There should be a key for that too. If there haven't been any edits since the last time something was auto-wired, you could just press a key and the last auto-wire would go away. A good way to do this would be to just have the auto-wiring count as a separate action in the undo buffer, so you can hit Ctrl+Z once to get rid of the wires, and again if you don't want the object you placed at all.
