Couple of UI-related questions from a Shake user:

1) In Nuke, the marquee select in the node graph only selects nodes that are completely inside the marquee. How can I make it select nodes it merely touches (the way I'm used to in Shake).

2) In Shake, I can select a node, and then shift-click on the input of another node to pipe them together. I've discovered selecting two nodes and using 'y' and 'shift-y' to pipe them together, but that is frankly a pain. Any tips?

3) I'll admit - I'm not perfect, and I can't always remember the order of inputs on nodes I don't use often, or nodes with many inputs. In Shake, there is a handy little box in the lower right that displays the name of the input you are hovering the mouse over. In Nuke, the inputs are labeled on the input arrows, but I honestly can't read them a lot of the time (especially since the writing is often over the other arrows, or the other writing). The best I've come up with is pulling the arrow down below the node to get the words all by themselves. There must be a better way to see the names of the inputs!

4) Using Primatte, how does one edit a previous operator? In Shake's Primatte, there is a slider that selects different operators. I can't find that (or equivalent) in Nuke.

Thanks for your time, folks, and I hope you can help!

1. you can't, annoying but that's just how nuke is.

2. nope, that's it

3. only thing you can do is change the arrow size/length which makes it a tiny bit easier to read the text.

4. Nuke doesn't hold onto a history of colors that it try's to maintain like the shake one did.
