I'd like to suggest the following small feature: if an input or output is doubleclicked, a value module of the appropriate type is automatically created, connected, and gets input focus.
I find that one of the most repetitive tasks at the moment, is dragging a constant into the schematic, connecting it, then doubleclicking it to edit it's value - if those three actions could be done by simply doubleclicking the input or output, that would speed things up an awful lot 🙂

Thanks mindplay.
I agree - this can be very time consuming. There are keyboard shortcuts for adding frequently used components which should help speed things up:
S = String, D = Int, F= Float, I = Module Input, O = Module Output, M = Module.
Components are created at the current mouse pointer location.
I'll have a think about your suggestion in the meantime.
Many thanks.

i think the keyboard short cuts are best. Maybe put it as an option so people that want to use SM that way can and others can just use it as normal.

I didn't know about the keyboard shortcuts 🙂
It would be nice if those could be enhanced then - so that if you press "F" while hovering the mouse over a float input, it automatically creates the connection, positions the new module neatly next to the input, and focuses the input box in the new module so you can fill in the value.
Should speed up things tremendously...
