Selecting Nodes Upstream and Downstream
 
 
 

Drill-Down is a way to change the currently selected node without depending on a viewer, such as the Schematic view or the Composition browser. It changes the current node by navigating upstream (towards inputs) or downstream (towards outputs) using hotkeys. It only allows navigating through connected nodes.

To navigate through a series of nodes, do one of the following:

  1. Press Alt + Shift + Left arrow to select the upstream node connected to the current node's primary input.
  2. Press Alt + Shift + Right Arrow to select the first downstream node connected to the first output.
  3. Press Alt + Shift Down arrow to select the next node for the last direction taken. For example, after pressing Alt + Shift + Left Arrow to go towards the primary input, pressing Alt + Shift + Down Arrow will select the node on the second input. It works similarly for outputs: pressing Alt + Shift + Down Arrow will visit the next node connected the output, or go to the next output, whichever applies.
  4. Repeatedly press Alt + Shift + Down arrow to cycle through the candidates in their order of presentation.
  5. Press Alt + Shift + Up arrow to select the previous candidate for the last direction taken, following the same logic as for Alt + Shift + Down arrow.
