Make adding label wires super easy (Step 1: Select Wire, Step 2: Start Typing, Step 3: Profits!)

[MichaelAivaliotis]

Currently (in LabVIEW 2010), you can add labels to wires. Hurray!!

But it's painful. Boooo!

Curently => Right-Click wire, navigate to sub-menu of Show>>Label

It should be as easy as adding free text to block diagrams or front panels. For example: If your auto-tool is on then just double-click on freespace to add text.

So we should make it just as easy to add labels to wires:

• Step 1: Single-Select Wire
• Step 2: Start Typing
• Step 3: Profits!

We don't need no stinkin' right-click menus.

PS: I am proposing a single click on the wire instead of double-click because that performs a different action.

National Instruments will not be implementing this idea. There is no further feature development planned for wire labels in LabVIEW 20xx.

Re-opening because LabVIEW NXG has been discontinued.
