Node Pie
Add nodes faster with a pie menu.
Adds a pie menu to the node editor for adding new nodes, increasing discoverability and allowing better muscle memory to be built for a faster workflow.
Features
- Ctrl + click anywhere to open the pie menu
- Ctrl + drag from a socket to open the pie menu and auto connect the node you select
- Ctrl + Alt + drag over a link to open the pie menu and insert the node you select into the link
- Nodes with incompatible socket types are automatically dimmed when using link dragging
- The more often you use a node, the larger its button will be in the UI (optional)
- Works with node groups
- Customisable key binds
- Extensive customization

Fixed:
- Sheen node not present in Blender 4.2
- Crash compiling shader in Blender 4.4
Great, but I wish it stayed open after CTR-Click and then RMB or ESC would close the pie. Now, if you CTR-Click and release, it will close. (This would make it behave like standard pie menus.)
Great
Great addon, however I suggest adding an option to adjust the scale of the entire pie menu so that it wouldn't fill the entire screen of those using smaller monitors or laptops like me.
