Flat Sequence Structure

[Jyo263]

Is there some way to get 'Add Frame' vertically (downwards) in flat sequence structures?

No.

The better question is: Why do you think you need more than a "one frame sequence structure"?

What exactly do you want to solve where THINK DATAFLOW doesn't seem to apply?

Yes!

In Windows: ALT+CTRL+ Right Arrow 😁

On my computer (at work) nothing happens for this specific key combination, but I guess what you are talking about… 😄

Hotkeys can be disabled (somewhere, the location changes all the time).

CTRL+ALT+Arrow sure freaked me out the first time I hit it accidentally.

Unless you are doing pretty sophisticated "time" measurements (particularly on a Real-Time platform) or programming FPGA, you should (almost) never use a Sequence structure.  Use Wires (such as the Error Line) to establish the sequence of operations.

The answer is: You can only add frames to the right and left in flat sequence structures.

While it is generally true that you don't often need multi-frame flat sequence structures, they can be useful for structuring code visually, and forcing execution order when using LV primitives without error in/out terminals.

And please (please!) don't vote for this idea.

FPGA aside, you could get away with zero sequence structures if you make a subVI out of the code you want to encapsulate.

Hmmm... Compared to natural languages, for example, egyptian hieroglyphs could be written vertically, (and, by the way, right to left as well). So, we can turn code into kind of art work:

 

And also traditionally, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese are written vertically in columns...
