Opening block diagrams directly

[m-s]

The default behaviour for LabVIEW when one double clicks on a subVI in a block diagram is to open its front panel. For a variety of reasons, this is undesirable. Is it possible to open the block diagram directly without having to look at the front panel ?

When you are debugging code, the default LabVIEW behaviour is, how do I put it, extremely irritating ?

shift-double click the icon to open the BD.

I prefer double click then ctrl-e Just do it fast enough, same effect.

...but if you are trouble shooting a VI running in a sub-Panel, no-go.
