Add node and Add subflow hotkey in ACE

When creating integrations, having to use the mouse to add nodes is a tedious task. Adding a hotkey for the "add node" and "add subflow" feature would make it faster and easier than sifting through the palette to find the correct node

    Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request, and apologies for the short delay in providing this response (this idea has now been re-routed from the Cloudpak for Integration team to the App Connect team). We absolutely approve of the idea of helping to speed up flow development in ACE. We note that providing a hotkey to add a node would be helpful, but having a different hotkey for every single one of the 100+ message flow node types might not be the most practical way forward ... rather perhaps the intention here is to launch into the "Add node" dialog with the hotkey, and from that wizard, select the node from the available options. That particular dialog does have a filter option too, and arrow key navigation ... but it might be even better to enable multiple drag and drop from the Add node wizard. In any case ... a hotkey combination would be a good first step in the right direction, so the status of the idea is updated to Future Consideration.

    HI Michael, Thanks for submitting this idea - as it relates to the App Connect Toolkit, I'm moving it to the App Connect ideas list so that that team can add it to their list.
