Connector pane double click terminal jumps to control

[matt.baker]

Suggestion: Double clicking a connected terminal on the connector pane highlights and jumps to the connected control. This would be useful for controls that are off screen or hidden.

Similar behavior to double clicking the associated terminal/icon on the block diagram, where it automatically repositions the front panel's view.

I would like the control highlighted when the cursor passes over it's terminal on the connector pane but this is a start.

(my comment in it is similar to your suggestion)

Clicking on the connector pane should make hidden controls partially visible 

Connector Pane: Show position of selected controls/indicators

etc...

All found by searching for "Connector Pane".

BTW, I hate the "similar" feature that you are referring to as it has no "undo" associated with it, which means that you can completely ruin the centering of your panel if you are not cautious (not even mentioning hidden controls). Implementing your suggestion as is would result in the same problem. I would not recomment that...

I generally hate it if the front panel is pannned by some other action, because it messes up the carefully selected origin.

I won't support this idea until we have something like this implemeneted. 🙂

I too used to get annoyed with the pane origin moving, but I now controll it programatically at the start of execution. I base all of my UIs at X0, Y0.

For every front panel that I display to the user, I use the following sub VI near the start.

Pane origin to zero.vi

Although it would make sense if there was a way to do this from the menu in edit mode.
