Toggle Socket Visibility
Control which node sockets are visible or not via panel/pop-up.
Features
This addon presents two ways to configure the visibility of node sockets:
- Sidebar Panel - A collapsible panel that appears in the N-Panel sidebar.
- Pop-up - A pop-up that can be called via hotkey.
These panels list out all the available input & output sockets in the active node. Depending on the state of the socket, a specific icon is displayed alongside their name:
- Checkbox - Denotes whether or not the socket is visible, clicking on this toggles between the hidden/visible state.
- Chain - Socket is linked to something else and its visibility couldn't be edited.
- Lock - Socket's visibility is read-only and is always uneditable.
- (Note: This currently only applies to Reroutes)
