LabVIEW 2019 moving objects out of containers

[mysticfree]

I've updated to LabVIEW 2019 and discovered, on block diagrams, I can't move objects out of one container without the wires trying to remain intact.  For example (a poor example but simplistic), let's say I have a flat sequence next to a while loop.  Inside the sequence is a sub-VI, inside the while loop is a graph object that is wired to the sub-VI. If I create a 2nd VI and move the sub-VI into it, the wires are all maintained to the 1st while loop instead of breaking as it used to do in past versions of LabVIEW. 

Is there a setting so I can return to the original behavior?

Another example:

before move:

after:

Instead of helping, this new feature tends to cause more work.

Thanks,

Ron

If you tap the W key while you are dragging your objects out, it will break off the wires.

I personally like the new feature.  I find it helpful far more often than I need to tap the W to break off and cause it to act like the old way.

Thanks, Ravenfan!  I agree. This feature has been handy.  But there have been instances where it made more work.

Is there a list of 2019's shortcut keys?

Thanks again!

Offhand, I don't know where such a list would be.

Oh, and if you tap W a second time, it will turn the connected mode back it.  It will continue to toggle it on and off depending how many times you press it.

I always forget about that key so i hold Ctrl to copy them out instead ... (Though in my defence i haven't done much LV the last year) 😞

You can insert DragAutoWire = false into your LabVIEW.ini file.

Here is the help topic for LabVIEW Keyboard Shortcuts:

https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvhowto/keyboard_shortcuts/

The "W" shortcut to cancel auto wire connect on drag is listed in that document.
