Double click creation of Constant/Control/Indicator

[DJed]

We do Create Constant/Control/Indicator a lot when working on a block diagram. It could be much easier. How about the following:

  Double-click on output terminal with wiring tool - Create Indicator.
  Double-click on input terminal with wiring tool - Create Control.
  Ctrl-click on input or output terminal with wiring tool - Create Constant.

Front Panel Control/Indicator

  Ctrl-click on node should Create Property Node.
  Ctrl-double click should Create Invoke Node.

From the first moment I started using LabVIEW I wanted to know where the shortcut was for "Create Constant".  When I teach young kids about using LabVIEW, I call "Create Constant" the "Easy Button".  It's used all the time.  It's a real shame there isn't a faster way to do it.

The suggested inplementation sounds OK, but even if it's not, don't throw out the idea of a faster way to "Creat Constant".

National Instruments will not be implementing this idea. In LabVIEW 2019 and later, the 'Create' menu options for terminals are always available at the top of the right-click menu, making them much more efficient to select.
