ZenGrove

1. Click Add Node in the top toolbar.
2. Type a name in Search nodes…, or browse a category.
3. Click a node once to add it. You can also use the arrow keys and Enter in the search field.

The palette stays open, so you can add several nodes. Click Add Node again or press Esc to close it.

Use your selection: selecting a node first can attach the new node to it when the connections fit. Click empty graph space to clear the selection when you want to place nodes separately. Some generators can also find a suitable source already in the graph.

1. Right-click an empty part of the graph.
2. Open a category such as Generator, Modifier or Utilities.
3. Click the node you want. For example, choose Generator → Branch.

The click position is the starting point for the new node. If it connects to a selected node or a suitable source, ZenGrove may rearrange the connected graph.

1. Left-click and hold an output socket, then drag out a wire.
2. Release over empty space inside the graph. Leave the pointer clear of nodes, existing wires and comment frames.
3. Choose a node from the search. ZenGrove shows nodes that can use this output, then creates your choice at the release point and connects it automatically.

If the chosen node offers several suitable inputs and has no preferred one, choose an input from Connect To. Press Esc or click outside the search to cancel. Ctrl + Z undoes the new node and its connection together.

Start this gesture from an output without holding Ctrl. Dragging from an input into empty space does not open the node search.

1. Hold Ctrl, then left-click and hold a socket that already has connections.
2. Drag to another compatible socket of the same kind: output to output, or input to input.
3. Release to move the existing connections together. Their other ends stay connected.

For example, move the output of Trunk A to the output of Trunk B. Both Branch A and Branch B then receive their structure from Trunk B.

Cancel safely: release over empty space to keep the original connections. An incompatible move also leaves them in place. Moving onto a single-input socket that is already connected replaces its old connection.

To tidy the path of a wire with a movable point, add a Reroute Knot from Utilities. The knot guides the wire without changing what passes through it.
