Create constants, controls and indicators without right-click

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

I have seen ideas for automatic creation of constants, but here is one for easier manual creation. 

 

Simply hover the mouse over a terminal as usual, and then press 1, 2 or 3 to create a constant, control or indicator.  No mouse-click needed.

 

I have attached a vi that uses VI Scripting (LV 8.6.1) to demonstrates this functionality.

 

Regards,

David

 

Instructions are on the front panel of the vi, but here they are again:


Instructions:
1. Run this vi.
2. Open a new vi and place an "add" function on the block diagram.
3. Hover the mouse over any terminal and press 1,2 or 3 to create a constant, control or indicator.

Of course, this will work for existing vis as well, and with any terminal on the block diagram.
