After you’ve extracted a node, you can re-insert it into another connection somewhere else.
You can only insert one node at a time.
To insert a disconnected node in the Node Editor between two compatible nodes:
1 Hold down the Shift key and drag a disconnected node directly over a connection
between two other nodes.
2 Once the connection highlights, drop the node, and then release the Shift key.
Thatnode is now attached to the nodes coming before and after it.
Before inserting a node (left), and after inserting a node (right).
TIP: If you hold down the Shift key, you can extract a node and re-insert it somewhere
else with a single drag.
Cut, Copy, and Paste Nodes
The standard operations of cut, copy, and paste are also available in the Node Editor. You can
use them to temporarily remove nodes from the Node Editor, create duplicate nodes, or even
copy the settings from one node and paste those settings into another node with
compatible settings.
Cut, Copy, and Paste in the Node Editor
The standard commands all work, but with some special features specific to the Node Editor.
To copy one or more selected nodes, do one of the following:
Right-click a node and choose Copy from the contextual menu.
Choose Edit > Copy from the Edit menu (Command-C).
To cut one or more selected nodes, do one of the following:
Right-click over the node and choose Cut from the contextual menu.
Choose Edit > Cut from the Edit menu (Command-X).
When you paste into the Node Editor, you create a copy of the last node or nodes you’ve cut or
copied. When pasting, there are a few different things you can do to control where pasted
nodes appear.
