Propose "wire" in "Replace"

[PierreM]

It happens quite often that to change my code I need to get rid of a block and just wire the input with the output.

Currently, we need to delete the block and then rewire the input with the output. That's a bit long, wires are dashed which sometimes does not help selecting them.

What if we could replace the block by a wire instead of another function (in case only one input and one output are present)? Or even better use a shorcut for this!

Thanks!

This already exists - select the code you want to remove and then press Ctrl+Space, followed by Ctrl+R. It will be removed.

In LV 2015, this is also an option in the context menu for selections you make on the diagram.

Well, that's useful (couldn't find it on the internet)!

Thanks a lot 🙂
